I am now eating TEH PIE. It was indeed served at 1:59 pm and is upside-down apple pecan pie. There is also cherry, blueberry, and key lime.

Pi day is cool! It means free pizza and temporary pi tattoos in the math library, which of course is always classic.

― Maria (Maria), Monday, 14 March 2005 21:44 (twenty-one years ago)

The pie actually wasn't that good. Very sugary and preservative-heavy. I would have preferred pizza, or maybe they could have sprung for chocolate pie.

― Jordan (Jordan), Monday, 14 March 2005 21:52 (twenty-one years ago)

It's 3/14 at 1:59 where I am!

Hah! I was given the Pi screenplay w/Aronofsky's "Guerilla Diaries" for my birthday - I totally forgot about Pi Day and didn't make the connection!

I love that movie. The screenplay is mighty badly written though.

Can't we celebrate both?

What about phi day? Could either be Jan 6th @ 1803 or 1st June at 1803. OR we could figure out when 0.61803399 of the year has gone by and celebrate it then.

― hmmm (hmmm), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 12:09 (twenty-one years ago)

I make phi day to be July 13th.

Nick Sobotka on The Wire has a Pi tattoo on his neck. I always assumed the actor has it, since there isn't really an obvious reason for why the character would.

― Hurting 2, Friday, 14 March 2008 13:32 (eighteen years ago)

Oh, number pi

Your digits are unending,

Oh, number pi

No pattern are you sending.

You're three point one four one five nine,

And even more if we had time.

Oh, number pi

For circle lengths unbending.

Oh, number pi

You are a number very sweet,

Oh, number pi

Your uses are so very neat.

There's 2 pi r and pi r squared,

Four-thirds pi r cubed---don't be scared.

Oh, number pi

We know that pi's a tasty treat.

isn't pi pronounced "pee"? in that case, does your work celebrate by dousing each employee in 14 gallons of fermented urine?

I just left him a message that read:

Is this an actual day or just something the math geeks you work with made up?

WTF? I've never heard of this before.

isn't pi pronounced "pee"?

It's "pie" in English and "pay" in Ancient Greek and "pee" in Medieval and Modern Greek (I'm pretty sure).

I do have to admit there's a barely controllable urge to mix sounds under it so it would sound like you're having all sorts of adventures while reciting Pi.
Walking around, going for a swim, driving a car, being chased by police, having a car crash, assisting in childbirth, etc.
