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?
Oh poo, gamma. You got me all excited that it was a day to celebrate PiE, and you let me down like that.
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!

I had banana cream pie and chocolate pudding pie tonight to celebrate.
How did YOU express your appreciation for mathematics today?
By Failing a test.
You fool! PiE is not the same as Pi!
SILENCE INFIDEL! They both require the usage of ones fingers to calculate the precise method to enter the sweet warm tasty filling just begging for a second helping as she-

Ah, now I understand the Count's status update this week!

There are better, much more fun songs to use for the Mofo, Mada...but you know you don't want me to link you to it. 😛
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.

Well you know the old saying?
"You don't lick a gift horse in the mouth."
... wait...
and i thought you knew how to enjoy PiE... i'm disappointed in you gamma
Apple PiE should be shared with others
Cherry PiE should be kept to ones self...
hey you know this can be a happy national pinkie pie day, since she has "pie" in her name. so yay celebrate my pony!
since she has "pie" in her name.

At least it's not PiE in her mane, right?
that is such a yummy pie and look gamma its cherry pie! your favorite
DELICIOUS!
hope that pie wasnt too hot over his face.
I'm sure it was nice and warm, Mada.
PiE usually is.
well no one would know more about PiEs than you, you do have a farm that spends all day making apple pies.
Silly Pinkie. I know more about PiE than Terg does.
but rarity, applejack and i are in the baking business. how would you know more than us about PiEs?
Pies maybe, but PiE is a completely different animal.
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.
I, Photo-Finish, must take a photo to capture to fully captyer the decahdent beauty of... Pie.
Here. Vear this. *Hands Mada/ Pinkie Pie a pie costume*
