Re: Pi Day 2007
It might be nice to celebrate it with a pie. 
Moreover, the pie should have a thickness of 3.14 centimetres.

Re: Pi Day 2007
I always thought Pi Day was 22/7 (22 July).
But we can have two!

Re: Pi Day 2007
22/7 is Pi Approximation Day! Funny that 3.14 is an approximation as well, yet it still is considered the "official" pi day...

Re: Pi Day 2007
But if you yell "Yaaay!" around 3:49 in the morning (.159 of a day), you will be yelling during the exact time.
Mixing Months, Days, and Fractional Days in a rather weird way, though

Re: Pi Day 2007
Time for a little game. Follow my lead. Please only one stanza in a post, and don't post more than one in a row.
Twas the nigth before Pi Day and all through the house,
Every child was studying equations written by Gauss.
"In the real world, this would be a problem. But in mathematics, we can just define a place where this problem doesn't exist. So we'll go ahead and do that now..."

Re: Pi Day 2007
Pi's decimal form never ends. Both of those are pi rounded to certain amount of decimal places.
They're rounded to different accuracies, but they're both perfectly good approximations.
Why did the vector cross the road?
It wanted to be normal.

Re: Pi Day 2007
I give up...
When all hope is lost, and the world is withering
Always remember, that espeon the goddess was calling
She was offering wisdom to all alike
But the demon called lightning started to strike
With his almighty spamming powers and idiotic catastrophy
He caused the apocalyspe of all stupidity
And that my friend is the story of pi
All because of the demon named lightning who said FYI
