March 14th! Happy Pi Day!

The 3-berry pie at the Village Inn Restaurant in Iowa City, Iowa. It had blueberry, raspberry, and boysenberry. If I could lick the plate and not embarrass myself, I would have!

I thought it was about 3.14159265358979.... when I saw the title.

 

It is, but Greg is hungry, and when he sees "pi", he immediately thinks of "pie".

Besides, pie is tastier than pi.

Zz.

 

I like strawberry pi's than strawberry pies.

 

Gasp- it's pi day!

*dork swoon*

 

apple pi anyone?

 

Hey did anyone realize that next year pi day will be 3/14/15...the first 5 digits of pi! Then the year after it will be the value of pi rounded to the 5th decimal place (3/14/16). I think that's it after that one, its like one of those rare astronomical events that happens once in a lifetime.

We better savor it...the pie that is . I don't know what to do about pi...I'll find some circles and calculate their geometric properties :uhh:

 

Are there any moronic groups out there predicting some earth-destroying, human-kind-wiping catastrophes for those dates? If there aren't any, I'd like to start one.

Zz.

 

:surprised

 

:rofl:

 

I can't even have imagined: http://www.piday.org/

 

... the hapPIest day of the year.

 

I remember the first couple of word-length mnemonics I learnt about pi:
"How I wish I could calculate pi"
"How I like a drink, alcoholic of course,
after the heavy lectures involving quantum mechanics"

 

There's a pizza place that recently opened for business nearby called "Pieology." With such a cool name you would think that they would throw a [itex] \pi [/itex] into their logo, or at least have a pizza volume diagram* in the restaurant somewhere. But alas, no; they don't seem to acknowledge [itex] \pi [/itex] at all.

*(If you have a pizza of radius z, and depth a, the volume of the pizza is πz²a, or expressing it a different way,
V = pi·zz·a.)

 

Ex - Village Inn Restaurant

 

What not another one? My wife and I used to go to a Village Inn that recently closed. I don't think that they ever won over the younger generation. Every time my son went there to eat with us he would say: "this is like eating in a nursing home."

I did noticed that he always finished his piece of French silk pie, however.
