Happy Pi Day

Get it? Pi? As in, 3.14?

And today is 3-14. Or in some circles, it's written 3.14.

Except in those countries in which March 14 is 14-03, or 14/3. Which is some countries in North America. Sometimes. It's very confusing.

Okay, you know what? Just say a brief "thanks" for mathematics--and mathematicians, who helped create the technology you're using to read this--and eat some pie. If you want to calculate the circumference of your pie, well...that brings us back to pi, doesn't it? Full circle, you might say. (Get it? Circumference? Full circle?)

Aw, c'mon. It's math humo(u)r. Laugh.

A day with pi(e) and laughter: it's gotta be good.
