I learned today is Pi Day...a celebration for most math, engineering and science wiz's around the planet.
As Wikipedia notes:
Pi Day is celebrated on March 14 (or 3/14 in month/daydate format), since 3, 1 and 4 are the three most significant digits of π in the decimal form. In 2009, the United StatesHouse of Representatives supported the designation of Pi Day.
What some call "Real Pi Day" will be celebrated on March 14th, 2015 at 9:26:53 AM. These numbers (3/14/15, 9:26:53) correspond with the first 10 digits of pi (3.141592653).
There will be Pi tweets happening throughout the day. I came across a cartoon and crazy video already this morning, and I'm sure the day will be filled with Pi references. I'll add in the funny ones here as we go along...
