We love pi! Well, we really really love PIE, as in Pie Town pie, as in, the deliciousness that comes out of the Pie-O-Neer Café, but close enough!
According to Wikipedia:
“Pi Day is a holiday commemorating the mathematical constant π (pi). Pi Day is celebrated on March 14 (or 3/14 in month/day date format), since 3, 1 and 4 are the three most significant digits of π in the decimal form. In 2009, the United States House of Representatives supported the designation of Pi Day.[2]
Larry Shaw created Pi Day in 1988.[3] The holiday was celebrated at the San Francisco Exploratorium, where Shaw worked as a physicist,[4] with staff and public marching around one of its circular spaces, then consuming fruit pies.[5] The Exploratorium continues to hold Pi Day celebrations.[6]”
So… HAPPY PI DAY!
