While this slice of apple pie and mound of whipped cream drizzled with caramel and topped with toasted nut shavings is making my mouth water and stomach growl a little, this is NOT the pie we are celebrating today. As the obsessed math lover, scientists or engineer in your life can tell you it’s PI DAY!
The really weird ones will have this entire number committed to memory.
For those who barely got promoted in math and science or had to resort to bribes, sympathy, and flattery for a passing grade, the Pi constant represents the ratio between the circumference of a circle to its diameter.
How do you celebrate Pi Day? For ideas, you should ask a former sad lonely person, who went through school with 2 friends, a social life that mostly consisted of hanging out at the Salvation Army and watching Seventh Heaven while curled up with a physics book on a Saturday night or my sister. She generally resorts to wearing a t-shirt with the pi insignia on it, taking a pie to work, eating a round personal pizza for lunch, and gazing far too long at all things circular.
However, I have a few suggestions of my own.
- If you’re not skittish about getting arrested, chased or into fights, you can make cream pies and pop random people in the face, while shouting, “It’s Pi Day!”
- You can invite your 20 closest friends and associates over for a pizza pie eating contest. The first to regurgitate loses. (Please record and post on YouTube)
- You can celebrate with like minded people by looking up phone numbers to businesses you think would care and yelling, “Happy Pi Day” when they answer the phone. Y’all cheer, then hang up. If you then begin to have a conversation about the celebration, I’ll feel sad for you.
And now, a little pi humor – well, as humorous as pi can get.
3.14 percent of sailors are pi-rates.
What is the official animal of Pi Day? The pi-thon.
The mathematician says, “Pi r squared.” The baker replies, “No, pies are round. Cakes are square.”

Holiday on my friends!
Thees and Thous 
First of all, I would like to point out thay while some people may go through school with only 2 friends, that in no way means that they didn’t have a host of associates, an enriching (volunteer) career as a basketball manager, and a date (who wasn’t related to her) to most school dances. Furthermore, those people usually go on to become successful software engineers. And since geek is “in” now their friend numbers often increase to 5 or more while those who once taunted their brilliant minds end up as sad lonely bloggers who dress up their pets, give them 4 names, and pretend they’re people.

My sister has pointed out that Pi can’t be memorized since it is an infinite number. That’s part of what makes it such a special number. She’s so special. We love and support her.
