I'm posting this early because I won't be around tomorrow.

Whoo, pi(e).

Wait, that's something else entirely. It's Pi. Or pie. Whichever floats your boat.

With the God of War II release, this is the best Pi Day ever!

That Pi looks good! I really hated my days of math and Pi in pre-algebra. Then there was us getting paid 3 x Pi at the Mario Bar...

I don't thing it will actually be pi day until March 14, 2016. Which brings me to my next question, why are there so many weird, geeky holidays in early to mid March? We have MAR10, 13.3.7 (Even though that is a very strange date format), and 3/14.

^ Dang, I forgot to celebrate March 10th! Eh, well there wasn't much Mario related to do anyway...

I've stocked up on Hostess pies in preparation. Everyone be ready to sing "Happy Birthday, Albert Einstein"!

Suddenly, you have given meaning to this otherwise useless holiday:  Every math student across the world should be allowed to pie their teacher in the face... It all makes perfect sense!

The math teacher I had my Sophomore year came into my French class today to write something in French on her "Pi day" shirt.

Weird thing is, I have a friend with a birthday today and a different friend with a birthday on 2Pi day (6/28). Easy to remember!

I'm pretty sure the Pi Day in 1592 was pretty cool. Maybe the best one ever.

I see that today isn't Know How to Use Your Prepositions Day...

...but I would like some pie. Key lime pie is my favorite.

Which is like saying that the best Christmas ever was the actual day on which Jesus was born.

...but I would like some pie. Key lime pie is my favorite.

Tell me about it, broken prepositions always get to me, that I'm actually trying to forget about the rule now just so that I can live a little.  Also I had some key lime pie.  My life is awesome.

Today, we celebrated pi day with much pie. It was a stupendous day filled with lovely math fun. We also received no homework to celebrate the joyous occasions.
Title: Re: Happy Pi Day!
Post by: Luigison on March 14, 2007, 08:48:33 PM
I celebrated by giving a physics test on universal gravitation that included Einstein's special theory of relativity and the use of pi in several calculations.

Universal Gravitation, you say? Like Yoshi's Universal Gravitation?

Nobody realized it was Pi Day in my school, either, except for one. He is also in Knowledge Bowl.

Not in THIS household.
My geometry teacher observed pi day and suggested pie be brought to school to enjoy during the period (I brought nothing, and was really counting on an Oreo pie someone promised to bring, but wound up with a slice of tasty berry pie instead). The assignment was to find the circumference and diameter of six circles and see if the circumference (found using a string to go around the circle) could be divided by the diameter to accurately find pi. If my classmates were smart enough to get a close average, I could get a free homework pass (I hate homework).
(This is, I promise, the last detail in parenthesis for this post.)

Don't let teachers fill your head with garbage. It is OKAY to end sentences with a preposition. This rule is something up with which I will not put!

It is also OKAY to split infinitives! Let Captain Kirk be your guide.

If anyone gets marked off by their teacher for this, tell them to take it up with Fnord, The Fearsome Viking.

YOU MONSTER! Also,

Don't you mean 1593? Pi goes to 3.1415927, and if you were to round it off, it would be 1593.

I think that the best Pi Day was March 14, 3.1415927582133763940...

"There are two schools of thought concerning the rounding of decimals... [blah blah blah]"

It's my decimal, I can truncate if I want to.

More preposition misuse! *suicide*

But now the day's over.  It's time to beware the ides of March.  This day is often celebrated by eating leftover pie and stabbing people in the back.

My dad heard some guy on the radio who has memorized pi to 12,800 digits. He holds the North American record.

WoW joke. Actually, I got it from you.

I love WarioWare with an unholy passion.

If only I could get rid of this Burning sensation to have more time to play it. :)

You left and were mysteriously replaced by a Viking. Maybe you were kidnapped and can't remember?
