Wikipedia reveals that we have just lived through one of the only square root days in the century - and that Pi Day is coming up soon.

Pi day cries out for an in-world event.

It was pointed out to me today that it's really American Pi day - because it's 3.14, rather than 14.3 - which wouldn't make any sense.

This was associated with the theory that the song is called American Pi because, just like Pi, it goes on forever....  Tongue

Just found this excellent web page on how to calculate pi by throwing food around the house/classroom

Wonder if it really works?
