Okay, Pi Day has arrived once again. If you write the date in USA format you get 3/14 for March 14th and pi begins with 3.14. (Okay it is approximately 3.14159265358 … but that ruins the whole Pi Day concept doesn’t it?) So, how is everyone celebrating π Day? Still rushing around to buy that last minute π Day gift for that special someone? Practicing your π Day Holiday songs? Are you planning on watching π the movie? It is also Albert Einstein’s birthday. Ordinarily I wouldn’t make such a big deal of π Day but this is the SDMB and I’m sure there must be _lots_ of folks observing this holiday. ---

I don’t think we can have a PI day in Britain. Not without redesigning the calendar a bit. ☹ ---
