But... But... Pi is an irrational number, with non periodical infinite decimal expansion, not 3.14!

What we can be sure of is that it would sit somewhere between today and tomorrow

I don't celebrate it. I celebrate Better Approximation to Pi Day, 22/7.

3.14 is off by -0.05 percent. 22/7 is off by +0.04 percent. It's also easier to do calculations in your head with.

My grandfather was a math teacher from Oneonta, Alabama and loved corny jokes.

"What did you learn in school today, son?"

"Pi r squared."

(in best Foghorn Leghorn imitation) "What do I send you to school for, son. They don't teach you nothing there. Everybody knows pie are round, cornbread are square."

PI is overrated.

I don't celebrate it. I celebrate Better Approximation to Pi Day, 22/7.

3.14 is off by -0.05 percent. 22/7 is off by +0.04 percent. It's also easier to do calculations in your head with.

But this year it's 3.14.14, so it's actually closer than 22/7.

I wonder how many people know who Foghorn Leghorn is ? Definitely one of my most memorable childhood characters
Seems like there are a lot of "days" . One for just about everybody .

Yay for Pi!

And damn it for making my math classes a nightmare!
