Happy Pi Day!

Another year has passed, and Pi Day is upon us once more. Happy Pi Day!

Isn’t Pi day March 14?

Not where I’m from. Today is July 22, or 22/7. Pi, or a reasonable approximation thereof.

You’re from accross the pond, I take it? :slight_smile:

New Zealand, so across a pond.

A somewhat larger pond than I thought.

Ah, Pi Day-Eve. I remember Pa in the field making crop circles. Ma would be cross-stitching rings while my younger sister was happily engaged with her Hula-Hoop. Now of course it’s just so commercialized that I don’t even bother to celebrate.

Oh, and now that we’ve got the confusion cleared up, happy π day, to you too!

I guess those of us that live in “months first” countries will celebrate π day on a different day then those in “days first” countries.

Seems they’re advertising it earlier and earlier, too: this year the signs and decorations were in the shops in May. Still, you can still have a good old-fashioned Pi day at home with the family, sitting around the fire, sipping mulled wine, and calculating Pi to 20 decimal places. And of course there’s that timeless look on the children’s faces as we decorate the Pi tree.

31 April (31/4) might make some sense in month-first countries, but 22/7 is much more logical. The advantage of American Pi Day is that it’s also Einstein’s birthday (IIRC). Happy pi day in any case.

Oh oops. April has 30 days, huh? Please ignore my failings.

When come back, bring… calendar :slight_smile:

Yeah but the best month first countries can manage is [Professor Frink] PI is exactly 3.14 ! [/Professor Frink]

No wonder America is falling behind in the sciences!

You can do better than 3.14 if you go the the pi hour, minute, second, etc.

I started watch Pi last night, but turned it off when he was poking the brain in the subway station.

I think we need a better movie for this holiday.

Oh, that dreadful screeching sound effect when he jabs it with a pen! Whatever the mental equivalent of instinctively crossing your legs to protect your balls is, I did it with my brain.

Sorry, don’t know how to best work that into a calendar thingy.

When come back, bring 3.
