just in case you weren't kidding...

In the US we write our dates as 3/14/2009.

I know, and it's wrong - I'm sorry, but somebody had to tell you sooner or later.

Our National Pi Day is 31st April (31/4) - it may seem irrational (as it never actually happens), but that's just the way it is.

It is my sister's birthday on 14 March, so I shall be going to her party. I'm now considering a pi-related present for her.

Actually, I think that makes perfect sense. Pi is an irrational number. Why shouldn't it be celebrated on an irrational day?

I'm clicking on the pi-faced option. Why can't I see the results, yet? Do I really have to wait til we get to the end?

There is alsothe Movie.

"Max also suffers from chronic headaches, as well as extreme paranoia (possibly paranoid schizophrenia), manifested in menacing hallucinations, and a crippling form of social anxiety disorder".



Or watch the trailer.

Sounds familiar.

Not at all, I was thinking more of the man on the couch who indulges in too many ZCD's.

I plan on reading Pi: A Source Book when I have a few minutes to spare.
