The essential number is marked by today's date and was most accurately marked on March 14, 1592. The NY Times published an article today that beautifully explains the history and significance of Pi.

I got in trouble and seventh grade math class. I asked who, in their right mind, would sit under a tree and figure out a number that has no end. Sister Mary Pacifica hit me with a geography book and said sit down and shut up.

No gunfire here. I’m going to celibate by eating a pie.

When I was teaching and it was a weekday I used to bring pies to my advanced physics class.

No pie today, sugar thing. It is my Mom's birthday. She would have been 104. Passed @ 96.
