National Pi Day celebrates the number that is beloved by math geeks
and bakers. That is because it marks the number Pi and many are
encouraged to enjoy a slice of the baked dish to commemorate.

Pi, the number that expresses the ratio of a circle's circumference
over its diameter, was first calculated in ancient times, and sometimes
is called Archimedes' Constant, for an ancient Greek mathematician who
calculated an approximate value for the number. It's a number with no
endpoint, although its digits start with 3.14159. Thus, March 14, or
3/14, for Pi Day.

But those unacquainted with Pi might be more drawn to what's usually a big feature of the number's celebration: pie.

The day started out as a fun way to celebrate among scientists.
Physicist Larry Shaw created Pi Day in 1989 at the San Francisco
Exploratorium. In the first celebration, Shaw and staff members marched
around the building and then consumed fruit pies. The Exploratorium
continues to hold Pi Day celebrations.

Now, the celebration is worldwide and many think of unique ways to commemorate the number.

How are you celebrating pi day? Baking a pi pie? Going to measure the
circumference of column and discern the diameter? Or are you lazy and
just waiting for pi approximation day (22/7 or July 22nd) to celebrate?

You fool! PiE is not the same as Pi! For such foolishness you will be banned from having any PiE for the next 30 days!

Some of us work hard for PiE. The rest just get PiE served to them on a silver platter. And they are the luckiest of all.

And some have PiE thrust upon them.

That can be not so lucky.

I'm afraid she's right about that, sugar cube.

That said, in that context you know more about PiE than I do too, Mada.  It's just one of those things.
