That's as far as I can get myself to remember.

Mmm, pi(e).

Thank you.

And to you as well.

15 better than me, anyway

I thought it was Steak and BJ Day.

I tried to post this with a clever joke when the servers were down and now I've been beaten at my own game. NO BLOWJOB FOR YOU.

Or, if you live in Indiana: 3.

I can consistently remember out to 28 places using a neat little trick I happened upon. Those of you with Macs, have the text-to-speech read this using the "Cellos" voice. Makes remembering it easy.

3.14159265358979323846264

Then just add 33 at the end and you're at 30, which in my mind is plenty for accurate circle measurement.

Sorry - 23 places and add "33" to get to 25.

/obviously not a math nerd if I can't friggin' count.

417 years after the best Pi Day.

_{The way Americans write dates anyway.}

Screw you brainiacs!

Thought today was Steak and BJ Day (new window)

MEH on Pi Day until March 14, 2015

Pie is finite, but the delicious neither ends nor repeats.

I'm making pies for Pi Day.

/1 key lime in the fridge
//2 french silk in the fridge
///2 pumpkin in the oven
////1 apple and 1 apple peach coming up
//1 mint Oreo chocolate pudding coming up
//2 YES PECAN coming up
//1 BARACKy Road coming up
//Pie we can believe in

Yay math! Yay mysterious irrational numbers!

I'm waiting for International Pi Approximation Day on 22/7

/not celebrated in USA, AFAIK

O-Face: Thought today was Steak and BJ Day (new window)

Until I see the rule where there can be only one holiday per day, i'm celebrating both.

/Steak, BJ, Pie for desert.
//or is that Steak, Pie, BJ for desert?
///i'm so confused.

/Steak, BJ, Pie for dessert.
//or is that Steak, Pie, BJ for dessert?
///i'm so confused.

FIFM, it's too damn early. Where is my pre-BJ coffee?

Olivia Munn's Favorite Day

Happy Pi day USA. The rest of us will wait until there are 14 months in a year.
Stupid Smarch

This will never be as popular as Caturday.

First thing I thought of for some reason:



/hot like a drill through bone matter

NERDS!

And a happy Pi day to you as well!

The Indiana legislature once proposed a bill that would change Pi to a round number: See Failure of the Day - February 5

Happy pi day!
And don't forget to put your cylinder in her rhombus!

Pi is a finite ratio. Why does everyone insist on memorizing the digits!?
That's like saying "I know 1/3 out to .333333333333333333333333333333333333.", but more of a pain in the ass and less useful since electronic calculators were invented.

What about e-day? Feb 71st anyone?

HERETICS! The bible says pi is 3. All those other digits are just Satan trying to confuse you.

What does the }.14159 signify in that picture? It seems random.

Hey, math/physics geeks:

Anybody feel like checking my work here?

The Holidays added to my calender since childhood:
1. Festivus.
2. Slap A Jew Day.
3. Steak and BJ Day.
4. and on very special occasions my interpretations of the Elders version of the "The Rain Dance w/ Happy Dance" overtures.

some swedish girl: What does the }.14159 signify in that picture? It seems random.

The grey lines around the circle are of equal length to the diameter. There are 3 grey lines in the perimeter. The remaining space equals 0.14159 of the diameter.

It's a favorite hobby of mine
A new value for pi to assign.
I would set it to three
'Cause it's simpler, you see,
Than 3.14159

/doesn't laugh much at math jokes
//doesn't have many friends anyway

One Thirty-two and Bush: HERETICS! The bible says pi is 3. All those other digits are just Satan trying to confuse you.

True dat. And it has the added bonus of being able to spot fundies' cars because of the irregular shaped wheels.

akzeac: The remaining space equals is approximately 0.14159 of the diameter.

Pedantically FTFY

At 1:59, MIT will release all of its denial emails to everyone who applied for this fall.

/just as funny as cruel.

doglover: Pi is a finite ratio

Uh, fail? Or troll?

I can't decide which.

I wonder if they had a special celebration back on March 14, 1592

jack21221: doglover: Pi is a finite ratio

Uh, fail? Or troll?

I can't decide which.

maybe just funny?

although knowing a proof that pi is not a rational number (it is not algebraic either; it is in fact "transcendental") is not the easiest thing. the sketch of the proof of the Lindemann-Weierstrass Theorem, from which you can obtain the transcendence of pi and other numbers, looks like a mess.

drbobm55: I wonder if they had a special celebration back on March 14, 1592

At 6:53 and 58 seconds

Eh, this is only about half as cool as Doublepie Day, celebrated in June...

By sheer coincidence I was listening to "Pi" by Kate Bush as I happened upon this thread.

We'll be eating pie today. We are nothing if not nerds.

TopoGigo: Anybody feel like checking my work here?

From what I can see, you got the escape velocity wrong (only multiplied 11.186 km/s by 60 once so you got ~672 km/min, not km/hr). Earth's EV should actually be ~40,270 km/h so no, your 1294 km/h wouldn't shoot you off into space.

TopoGigo
Your initial numbers are wrong. Escape velocity is 40320kph, and your velocity at the equator is 1674kph, so don't have nearly enough velocity to reach orbit it the earth stopped spinning (numbers from wiki). You can prove that to yourself by the following: if objects have reached escape velocity on the surface of the earth merely due to earth's rotation...they would be in orbit.
