Pi Day

Either you celebrate Pi Day or support ISO 8601 - you can't have it both ways !

Happy Half Tau Day!

And a posthumous happy birthday to Mr. Albert Einstein.

Of course in two years it will be 3/14/15 in the US, that will be fun.

&#60;shameless plug&#62;<p>If you happen to be in the St Louis area and like pie, my aunt is selling Pi day pies today. Fresh made and delivered.<p><a href="http://www.itseasyaspie.com/collections/frontpage/products/pi-day-pies" rel="nofollow">http://www.itseasyaspie.com/collections/frontpage/products/p...</a><p>I can attest to the deliciousness of her pies. ;)<p>&#60;/shameless plug&#62;

A surd of Lisp? Found this yesterday:<p>Are There Things-in-Themselves<p>By<p>Dr. Paul Carus<p>Title: The Surd of Metaphysics 1903<p>without heirs to her fathers was gathered, Here at the auctioneer's<p>"things-in-themselves" will be sold.<p>.................<p>Vorwort:<p>The relation between the circumference and the diameter of the circle is quite definite and concrete, but if expressed of a numerical fraction its value can only be approximated, admitting of an infinite progress in accuracy. So the world is determinable and science is reliable in spite of the fact that her work can never be finished, and however much we progress and advance in the solution of life's problem, we can never reach the end. But this condition of things is not depressive to a healthy mind. On the contrary, it is an elevating idea that the source of knowledge will never run dry, and that the waters of life are inexhaustible.<p>-Paul Carus 110 years ago<p>(note: of Carus Mathematical Monographs, MAA)

I'm looking forward to Pi Day in 2015.

I want an i day!<p>Well, I'll just imagine one.

As an Australian and a mathematician I can't do Pi day, much as I'd like to.<p>Even if the date's not ISO 8601 it's still 03/14/2013? And how does the 159265359.... work 15:92:65 ?<p>I guess this is semi relevant <a href="http://www.xkcd.com/397/" rel="nofollow">http://www.xkcd.com/397/</a>

As good a day as any to watch <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0138704/" rel="nofollow">http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0138704/</a>

Slightly tangential, but MIT decisions come out today at 6:28 (2 pi!), and last year's results were at 3/14 1:59.

Happy Pi Day!<p>I have a friend we nicknamed Pi. His "hobby" at school used to be memorizing the digits after the decimal point in Pi. I remember at some point in time he could recite a few thousand. Never got the point though.

Rather irrelevant, but it also happens to be my birthday and "Steak &#38; Blow Job" day.<p>Mathematical constants, great food and sexual pleasure, not to mention presents. I am truly blessed!

Anyone else in favor of merging pi day and natural log day?

Proposed to my now wife on Pi day. Had no idea it was Pi day when I was doing it. Made the day even better!

Pi Day will be much cooler in 2015. 3/14/15 FTW.

Happy me day!

As a Brit, I'm confused.

No google doodle :(
