AI Thread Summary
The discussion celebrates Pi Day with a series of jokes and humorous anecdotes related to the mathematical constant pi. A classic joke illustrates the different approaches a mathematician, physicist, and engineer take to calculate the volume of a rubber ball, highlighting their respective methods. Several pi-themed jokes are shared, including puns involving jack-o-lanterns, the moon, and ice cream. Participants also humorously note the absence of a 14th month for an official Pi Day and suggest alternative celebrations, like "Happy Approximate Pi Day." The conversation touches on the various ways to write dates, referencing different formats used in Europe and the U.S., while maintaining a light-hearted tone throughout.

Happy Pi Day: Pi jokes!

A mathematician, a physicist, and an engineer are all given identical
rubber balls and told to find the volume. They are given anything they
want to measure it, and have all the time they need.

The mathematician pulls out a measuring tape and records the circumference. He then divides by two times pi to get the radius, cubes that, multiplies by pi again, and then multiplies by four-thirds and thereby calculates the volume.

The physicist gets a bucket of water, places 1.00000 gallons of water in the bucket, drops in the ball, and measures the displacement to six significant figures.

And the engineer writes down the serial number of the ball, and looks it up.Question: What do you get if you divide the circumference of a jack-o-lantern by its diameter?
Answer: Pumpkin Pi!

Question: What do you get when you take the moon and divide its circumference by its diameter?
Answer: Pi in the sky.

Question: What do you get if you divide the circumference of a bowl of ice cream by its diameter?
Answer: Pi a’la mode.

Have you noticed that if a pizza has a depth ##a## and a radius ##z##, the volume is ##pi\cdot z\cdot z \cdot a## ?

We don't have PI day as there is no 14th month.

Maybe a star date (calling star trek geeks!)?
