Pi Day '07!
 
(Yep. I figured I'd beat everyone to it.)

So! It's 3.14. What are you doing at 1:59 local time?

That's right, it's Pi Day again. I baked/bought a pie, but as it's also White Day, I have other things to do, so other than that I'm not celebrating much. Plus I;m bad at math and acknowledging the day exists at all is like twenty geek points.

But! Since Pi Day is upon us, what are you doing for it? Eating round things? Laughing at/making math jokes? Stubbornly denying it?

Happy Pi Day, everyone. Let your love of circles be known.

EDIT: And...it appears to not want to let me delete this so it can be posted in the right forum. Help, anyone? [Done. - Z]

My modly powers do not work in this subfora, unfortunately.

I suppose I didn't do anything pi related today, really, but then, I don't do pi related things most days.

Actually, one of my brothers has a birthday today; I must remember to send him a http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g2...comment/pi.jpg.

To celebrate pi day, I wore my "Pi A La Mode" T-shirt and took a math test. (The test may have just been a coincidence, but my teacher seemed familiar with pi day, so who knows?) Later on, I'll go to my work where we make pizza (pies).

Incidentally, the pizzas at my work have the same number of slices as their diameter in inches (our six inch pizzas have six slices, our ten inch pizzas have ten slices, etc.). Thus, for example, the circumference of a large pizza divided by the number of slices is: 14 pi in / 14 = pi in. This means that, ignoring small variation in the size and shapes of the pizza, an average slice of our pizza has an arc length of pi. Interesting, no?

You make my head hurt.

At 1:59 I was frantically running to a 2:00 job interview and checking my watch.

Would that be Bob, by any chance?

Gatac 03-16-2007 11:38 PM

No, it was Adam.

But Bob was there, too.

The next one older, in fact. Bob's isn't until later in the year.

Funny, I didn't count fifteen paragraphs....

mudshark 03-17-2007 04:22 AM

I'll just nod and pretend I understand everything that's happening... will that do?

Zeke 03-17-2007 05:34 AM

It will do <i>three times</i>.

Celeste 03-17-2007 02:14 PM

There are FOUR LIGHTS!

Dear heavens, there are more of you?

mudshark 03-18-2007 03:08 AM

Where?!

PointyHairedJedi 03-18-2007 07:51 PM

I just had the momentarily worrying/comforting thought that when Zeke got himself cloned you might have as well.

*Gibbers/cheers at the thought*

Zeke 03-20-2007 05:02 AM

I doubt it. The Clones 'R' Us people got out of the country pretty fast (probably a good move), and they couldn't have gotten that stuff through Customs.

Of course, there <i>were</i> those strange reports about all the cloning equipment being gone when the police arrived....

Commodore Zuke 03-20-2007 05:03 AM

Ignore those reports. They have nothing to do with anything.

OR DO THEY?

mudshark 03-20-2007 03:07 PM

We don't need to see his identification. http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g2...ormtrooper.gif

These aren't the clones we're looking for. http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g2...ormtrooper.gif
