And a very happy Pi Day to you as well! I am going to bake a pecan pie for the occasion. Math and dessert, what could be a better combination? :P

I accidentally put on my "Math is delicious" t-shirt today without knowing it was Pi Day until someone said "oh ho what a clever shirt to wear today!"

Happy Pi Day to you too! I first read it as iDay, but it was probably just my imagination.
