A Holiday For the Mathes - Pi Day 2012

Happy Pi Day!! For the (few) uninitiated of you, today is Pi Day because of the date (3/14). But since I've posted about it three times before, it is safe to assume you all are in the know.

The traditional celebration of Pi Day (besides annoying everyone you know by telling them it is Pi Day) is the baking of pies, of course. I pulled pie duty this year with a pecan pie* and a quiche*. I guess that means I'm pulling double duty on eating too. C'est la vie.

(In looking back at previous Pi Day posts, I found it a rather amusing way to track self-portraits. Hopefully, come ultimate Pi Day (in either 2015 or 2016, depending on how you round the digits), I'll have a great little Pi Day photo album to reflect back on.)

Man, I always forget about pi day. I wish I was there eating pie with you.

At first I was offended by 3/14/16 'cause that 6 is supposed to be a 5, but I guess if you are going to truncate digits, you might as well round, and since the next digit is 9 it rounds pretty well.

With that massive chin-brow you're sporting, I'm a little dissappointed that you didn't carve a Pi symbol or something into it. Or even better, spell out the Pi digits from your right to left ears, and make the 'stache into the Pi symbol...
