Happy "PI Day" everyone!!

Yes here it is March 14th once again, and everyone around the world is frantically celebrating “π Day”.

Happy “Pi Day” to everyone at the Straight Dope Message Board.

I celebrated early this morning, at 1:59.

I made 2 π! One pumpkin and one apple. No one gets a slice unless they designate its size in radians!

My wife, Pepper Mill, made a blueberry pie today, decorated with a Greek “pi” symbol and “3.14”

It was delicious!

The Mrs. is making a pecan pie for us tonight. Yay.

Apple pie is what’s in this house.

Happy Pi Day!

No pie in this house :frowning:

Do chocolate covered raisins count? If I eat 3.14159 of them?

I did do a pi day lesson with my fourth and fifth graders yesterday. At lunch they held a bake sale. But I didn’t see any pi there either :frowning:

Found myself in the airport in Hong Kong sometime around March 14 years ago. There was one work of art that was a big clear plastic “π” and it was filled with apples. It took me a few minutes to get it, and then I laughed myself silly.

Well it seems I got more replies to my posting this year than in previous years. :slight_smile:
Also, let’s not forget that 3/14 is also Albert Einstein’s birthday.

Just wondering who had steak for dinner? :wink:

Too bad it’s way too early to make rhubarb pie, one of my favorites. My cousin sends me a huge amount every year, to make into pies at the cafe where I work, but since I hope to have another job before the season begins this year I probably won’t be making them now.:frowning:

How I need a drink, alcoholic of course, after the tough lectures involving quantum mechanics; but we did estimate some digits by making very bad, not accurate, but so goddamn efficient tools! By dropping valuable wood, a dedicated student, I, Volokh, Alexander, can determine beautiful and curious stuff, O! Smart, gorgeous me! Descartes himself knew wonderful ways that could ascertain it too! Revered, glorious - a wicked dude! Behold an unending number: pi! Thinkers’ ceaseless agonizing produces little, if anything! For this constant, it stops not – just as e, I suppose. Vainly, ancient geometers computed it – a task undoable. Legendre, Adrien Marie: “I say pi rational is not!” Adrien proved this theorem. Therefore, all doubters have made errors. (Everybody that’s Greek.) Today, counting is as bad a problem as years ago, maybe centuries even. Moreover, I do consider that variable x, y, z, wouldn’t much avail. Pi, imaginary, like i? No, buffoon!

Missed pie day. Will have to make up for it next week. Maybe use up some of the pumpkin guts in the freezer. Just need condensed milk.

And the anniversary of the death of Stephen Hawking.

Made pi(e) cookies (pie crust cut up, sprinkled in cinnamon sugar and rolled up) and a potato and haddock “pie”. A friend made a tourtière .

bah, tau is the way to go. Still waiting for June 28

The mister did. It’s his favorite day!! :smiley:

A group of people in the office, myself included, have been watching The Mandalorian most Fridays for the last few months (we’ve had to go several weeks without due to holidays, people being out, etc). Last Friday was the last episode of the season, and since Pi Day was Saturday, a number of us brought in circle-shaped foods. It was a fun time :smiley:

I don’t think it’s actually international, since most of the world would write Saturday’s date as 14/3.

But in any event, I had some for breakfast, and then again at 1:59:26 PM.

I made our family favorite: sausage, spinach and egg pie. Savory pies are the bomb.
