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

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

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.

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.

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?
Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

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

Today's also national "Save a Spider" day.
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.

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

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.
