In high school, my math teacher had a shirt that had pi on the front and, “Irrational, but well-rounded,” on the back. :rolleyes: 😃 ---

I don’t know about the rest of you guys, but my day has 24 pi moments. I particularly like pi after noon (i.e., 12:03:14.15926535897932384626433832795…) 🙂 ---

Whoa, and I happened to start my “memorizing pi to a lot of places” quest today. I figure that I’ll be a real pimp if I just start now and memorize 2 places a day. So far, I’m up to 3.14159265359, but the last one will change to an 8 when I go get more pi. My calculator only displays 12 digits. ---

Let’s not forget about Phi day! 1-16-18 (or 1-16-1803 if you want to be really specific) ---

Our Fox affiliate here in town runs Simpson’s reruns every night at 11, since theirs is the 10 o’clock news. The episode they showed last night: Homer becomes Pie Man. Don’t know if it was intentional, but weird nonetheless. ---

Wow - another PI Day has come and gone. It was fun singing the PI carols and seeing all the lovely PI day presents. Don’t you wish it could be PI Day 365 days a year? Oh well, time to put away the PI Tree. ---
