Belated Happy Pi Day
Yesterday on one of the forums I occasionally visit, someone wished a happy Pi day. You know, it was 3/14, and Pi is 3.14 etc., etc. So I threw an impromptu Pi celebration at supper. Everyone had circles on their plates, and we measured the circumference and diameter. A CD, an LP, a jar of molasses, a battery- all were measured. Then we figured pi. Turns out our measuring apparatus (a sewing tape) was not precise enough to accurately figure the real pi, but we did come up with a couple of 3.15’s. After dinner, we had apple pi, umm, I mean pie. Then the children and I watched a Pi video on YouTube. Wild, geeky fun. A belated Happy Pi Day to you all!

I love that you had a Pi day celebration… my ds bday is 3-14 and I’ve always thought it was cool he was born on Pi … I thought it made it easier for others (and me) to remember… I’m amazed at how many people are like… what?
I’m going to look at the video.. thanks for the link.
