The Indianapolis Indians, farm team of the Pittsburgh Pirates, tweeted a pic of Felix Pie, who wears number 14. They made the Pi day reference, even though his name is pronounced pee-AY. The other side of the pun will come when he gets called up to the major league Pirates, where he will be the Pittsburgh Pie (pee-AY.) ---

Its lent. Can’t eat meat on Friday, and for some reason, the Bishop isn’t granting dispensation like he would if it was St. Patrick’s Day. So I’ll ask the wife for double. ---

This is the first I’ve ever heard of it. In Japan, it’s [White Day](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Day) - since Valentine’s Day in Japan is an occasion for women to give men chocolate, White Day is the time for men to reciprocate. It’s also my daughter’s birthday, so I’m planning to forget I heard about this new interpretation and just stick with Pi Day instead. ---
