Happy Pi Day!
Posted by Eric on 14 March 2001, 06:08 GMT

Today's always a festive day around these parts...after all, it's Pi Day (3/14), perhaps our favorite holiday around here (rivaled only, of course, by e Day and Mole Day). So anyway, before I head off for a heavy dose of pi celebrations, I'll point you all to last year's article, which contains lots of wholesome information about everyone's favorite number, courtesy of our own Andrew Selle.

So...yeah, Happy Pi Day!

Update (Eric): And while we're on the subject, let's take a moment to salute those die-hard Pi celebrators—just take a look at this loyal reader and Pi Day devotee. Goes to show you that all your pi are indeed belong to us.

I'm not totally psychotic, I only know about 20 digits of pi (most of which I memorized from reading a FoxTrot comic too many times)

I just know 3.14159265358979323846

My math teacher gave us suckers in class today in honor of pi day

But worst of all was my science teacher last year who dressed up in thick glasses all like the stereotypical nerd for mole day (Oct. 23/10^23).

My chem teacher in highschool dressed up as mole.

Aside from that there were always stuffed mole dols laying around the class.

Two things. First, my friend brought me an apple pie with 3.14 in candles and the decimal was a M&M.

Next, get the super pi calculator (Win32) here:

I think I'll stop now. But I do have a file with the first 50,000 digits of pi, which i successfully posted all in one comment last year on Pi Day, but it was quickly deleted. I tried to post it all in one comment again, but it didn't work for some reason. Anyway, there's my festivities for Pi Day.

A lot of fuss about this PI-day. A friend of mine even called me and sang a pi-song just because it was pi-day.

The weirdness is kindof the whole idea. Like celebrating christmas on OCT 30 instead of DEC 24.
And please please please remove that stupid backgroundmusic on your homepage.
Is there anyone who appreciate such?
homepagemakeing is about design and usability, not showing off all cool tags you know...

To celebrate, I let my 92+ (with help from the picalc program) calculate 10,000 digets of pi. I posted that on two boards in my school.

The song was done by my school's math department. Enjoy!
