Are you ready for Pi day? Have you decided how you will celebrate this geeky day?
Of course for most of the world this is not too apparent as the date will be 14/3/18. But for us here in the US the date is 3/14/18 and we all know that 3.14 = π.
So, with a little bit of world play it means that it is a day when we should eat pie to celebrate pi day.
I am not sure yet what type of pie I will eat. It will somewhat depend on how I feel. My taste buds are a bit off as I recover from my stomach problems.
Perhaps I will have a nice sweet berry pie like shown above.
Or, perhaps not a classic dessert pie after all.
A pizza is an option as it is also a pie.
Or, maybe a good savory pie like this chicken pot pie.
A long time ago I had π memorized to over 100 places. I am not going to attempt to freshen my memory, but here it is.
π = 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288419716939937510
5820974944592307816406286208998628034825342117068….
Perhaps I will just read the digits 🙂
Oh, and we should also remember Albert Einstein on Pi Day as it is his birthday. He was born 139 years ago in Ulm, Germany. The picture above was taken at the Frankfurt airport where they have a statue of him in one of the terminals.
Happy Pi Day!

Did you forget Moon Pie? Like in, “Give me an RC Cola and a Moon Pie ‘neath the Maple on the hill.”
