i had 2/π of a pizza, to honor the ratio.

Next year will be more significant. I'm just not impressed with three places after the decimal point.

Hmmm... I'd consider one slice of pizza to be pi/4 of a pizza (but also pie/8; so pie = 2pi).

Next year will be more significant. I'm just not impressed with three places after the decimal point.

But the year after that will be an even better approximation.

and i was so sleepy after eating it that i inverted my fraction!

Only if you truncate the year. Otherwise, we haven't really been good since 1592. And it is only going to get worse....

I bought a recipe book that is all pies, nothing but pies, and I have been working my way through it. The strawberry/raspberry, blueberry custard pie was a hit, and very pretty. The apple/pear pei with a praline crust was yummy for Christmas. When summer comes, I will try out some of the icecream pies. I enjy making something completely frivolous.

I heard Microsoft, Samsung, and Betty Crocker are involved in a all out legal slugfest involving the patent rights to pi. Is that true?

Maybe it was the genome version. It's so confusing.

So I'm going to have a cheeseburger with a Manhattan on the side.

Speaking of missing airliners, has anybody here read Lost Horizon, the 1933 James Hilton novel?

I was going to dress up as Euler for Pi Day, but I was afraid I'd be accused of trying to steal Euler's identity.

Tony P., admittedly I only watched the movie (in the reconstructed form with at least the audio track complete though with some scenes missing in video).
