Happy March 14th!!

From the "Uncle John's Unstoppable Bathroom Reader E-Calendar":

TODAY IS PI DAY!

Pi is the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. Math enthusiasts worldwide celebrate March 14 as “Pi Day” because the first few digits of pi are 3.14.

The Exploratorium museum in San Francisco created a color-coded chain of beads to represent the digits of pi. Each color represents a different number. So far, they’ve got more than 1,700 beads.

Some enthusiasts say Pi Day isn’t official until 1:59 P.M.— because the next three digits after 3.14 are 159.

How does the Bathroom Readers’ Institute commemorate Pi Day? We eat cake.

(I realized after posting that the time on the blog is off compared to the time I'm writing.. and it still shows March 13th -- I apologize for the "confusion")
