Yanick said:Hey did anyone realize that next year pi day will be 3/14/15...the first 5 digits of pi! Then the year after it will be the value of pi rounded to the 5th decimal place (3/14/16). I think that's it after that one, its like one of those rare astronomical events that happens once in a lifetime.

edward said:"It has been heard", "people are saying", "the word going around is", On those dates a cataclysmic moon size pie in the sky will appear.
Note that I included three sources used frequently on Fox news so it must be true.

With such a cool name you would think that they would throw a [itex] \pi [/itex] into their logo, or at least have a pizza volume diagram* in the restaurant somewhere. But alas, no; they don't seem to acknowledge [itex] \pi [/itex] at all.
3.14 1:59. Pie & Ice cream in the Pantry by the printer. Enjoy.

jtbell said:Isn't Pi Day on April 31 (31/4) in Europe?
Oh wait, there's no April 31.
ZapperZ said:Then that is what we should use to spread the news about the calamity that will fall on us next year on pi day! As simple as that! We start with something that says that there's impending forecast that day where it will be overcast, with a chance of pi in the sky.

They have a peanut butter chocolate pie that tastes so good I would give up eating peanut butter chocolate pie forever just to eat peanut butter chocolate pie for the rest of my life.I did noticed that he always finished his piece of French silk pie, however.
You mean Iowa street and Iowa city aren't the same thing?That is not even in the same state!
The one that I went to about 3 weeks ago, I can assure you, is open for business and thriving.
Pi Day is a celebration of the mathematical constant pi (π), which is approximately 3.14. It is observed on March 14th (3/14) in honor of the first three digits of pi.
Apple pie is often associated with Pi Day because the numerical value of pi is commonly rounded to 3.14, which is similar to the date format of March 14th (3/14). Additionally, the circular shape of a pie is reminiscent of the shape of the pi symbol.
Pi Day is celebrated in various ways, including eating pie (especially apple pie), participating in pi-related activities and games, and attending pi-themed events and lectures. Some people also use the day as an opportunity to learn more about the history and significance of pi.
No, Pi Day is not an official holiday recognized by governments or organizations. However, it is widely celebrated and recognized by math enthusiasts and educators around the world.
Pi is a mathematical constant that represents the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. It is an irrational number, meaning it cannot be expressed as a simple fraction, and its decimal representation never ends or repeats. Pi is used in various mathematical equations and has applications in geometry, trigonometry, and other branches of mathematics and science.
