It's that time of the year again- the time of the year when it's perfectly normal to show your affection for both baked goods and mathematical concepts.
Whether it's 3.141592653589793238462643383...
or
cherry, apple, pumpkin, blueberry...,
on pi day, there's something for everyone.
Nerds get a chance to show off their geekiness(you bet I wore my math socks today) and pie connoisseurs got a chance to not be judged when eating a pi number of pies XD
Some fun facts about pi
1. Pi is the 16th letter of the Greek alphabet and stands for permieter.
2. 2pi make up a whole circle(the circumference)
3. Archimedes did one of the first calculations of pi
Some facts about pie
1. Pie is so special it has two days: December 1st and January 23rd are National Pie Day, and October 23 is National Boston Cream Pie Day(which happens to be a brilliant individuals birthday XD).
2. Boston Cream Pie is a cake, not a pie.
3. Oliver Cromwell banned the eating of pie in 1644, declaring it a pagan form of pleasure. For 16 years, pie eating and making went underground until the Restoration leaders lifted the ban on pie in 1660.
I hope that today was, on a scale of 1-10(1 being great), at least a 3.14 ;).
HAPPY PI DAY YA' GOOFS
