Foo - Happy pi day!

Yup, today's 3.14, ie pi day. Happy pi day!

Sweet, make mine caramel merengue.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm this is going to be a good day!

What's the proper way to celebrate?

Eat PI(e)

I don't think that's fair. The number e doesn't get a day and that's just as cool a number as pi. Avagadro's number doesn't get a day. The gravitational constant doesn't get a day, nor does Plank's constant, or the rest mass of a photon. Why doesn't the rest mass of a photon get a day?

I think we should be calculating the circumference of bicycle wheels or something.

I think that you are all forgetting that March 14th is a much more important holiday.

hey man, ppl like circles.. get over it. . not spirals, not how many atoms in a mole, not some quantum physics mumbo jumbo.. - 'circles'




circles rock. :beer:

We can celebrate Avogadro's number on June 23. (6e23) Happy now? :p

I thought i was last friday. Well that's what we had in school. It suuure was boring with all the lectures/presentations=p

So do we celebrate binary day on January first, tenth or elventh or October first, tenth or eleventh or November first, tenth or eleventh?

I'd like to see a Holiday for LaGuerre's Polynomial Functions! Without them, we couldn't have digital images, or topographic maps, or fractals, or any way to measure slopes.......

Imagine the celebration one could have had on October 10, 1010.

I'm guessing the computer people then didn't appreciate the beauty of the day.

Barring an early demise, I should live to see the year 100000000000 :)
Only another 101001 years to go ;)

not for me - PI day in my world is the 3rd of Febrember :D

i could handle a world with no slopes. I am a born flatlander.

Speaking of Pi, this happened in Indiana! Hilarious!

The scary thing is, it's true, I looked it up in the Indiana Congressional Record for the year and it's there!

But 22/7 is pi rounded up :o

Pie Round Up, cool!! Can we round up pie on our bikes or do we need horses? I can get a horse, but it will take me an hour or two.

I think you're required to have a horse or it's not technically a round up. Hey, "pi(e)" and "round". Get it? There are days when I'm very easily amused....

since pi goes on forever does that mean that today doesnt end

since pi goes on forever does that mean that today doesnt end

Oh, crap! Please don't let it mean that....

The digits of pi go on forever, but the number is of finite value. So take heart, my friend... the day will come to an end.

There's donuts at work today. I'm eating one now as I think about pi day.

Dude, you live on the cutting edge of fun! Let's get together and do some LaPlace transforms over a couple of pints.

They handed out free pie in the engineering building today. Buncha nerds. It was good, though!

The non-techgeeks just don't understand the pure Platonic beauty that a number or an equation can have.

I was expecting this post from you :). To be a true to Einstein, you should have posted this at 1:59. Oh well next year

Just like last year, I was asleep at 1:59 AM. Last year, I chose to post before 1:59 AM. I thought I'd mix it up a bit and post after 1:59 AM this time. :p

hey, it's almost 03.14 1:59:26

nm, clocks in the lab are an hour off
