For those who understand such things: Happy Pi Day. I rarely jump on the bandwagon of all of the various X-days that have come and gone recently or which are coming, e.g. 10/10/10, but since Pi is such an interesting beast, it just needs to be celebrated on its day. Question is: How does one properly celebrate Pi Day? Sit down with your favorite math book? Hug a math nerd?
Anyway… I really like some of the other suggestions for Pi Day proposed on the Real Pi Day site. Hopefully a consensus will be reached and banks and government employees can begin to have a day off in honor of the holiday. And in case anyone is listening, I vote for the day/time when the sun has travelled 1/pi from perihelion.
