<p>ahem. i have been celebrating pi day since i was in 2nd grade (even before i knew what pi was! all i knew is that my math teacher gave me delicious omnomnommy pie =D)</p>

<p>it is one of my most favorite holidays of the entire year so i just wanted to force you all to acknowledge its existence today (3/14) >=D</p>

<p>let all my fellow pi lovers and/or math-ophiles / majors now flood this thread with fun pi day jokes and trivia! :)
so excited for pie tomorrow =D</p>

<p>okay i'll start: what do you get when you divide the circumference of a jack-o-lantern by its diameter?

<p>i think im gonna bake a pumpkin pie today. <strong>Drools as stomach lurches from hunger</strong></p>

3

<p>lol, maybe this is why Frenkel is teaching double integral over polar coordinates today.</p>

4

<p>ive definitely given up on listening in lecture. i just sit there in lecture with my textbook out doing hw problems and listen to him every now and then. meh</p>

<p>Math major and stoked to celebrate Pi Day. However, by celebrating, I mean finishing all my math problem sets by today or tomorrow. The real reason is so I can relax on Thursday before spring break starts, but Pi Day is also a good excuse to being doing a lot of math proofs today!</p>

<p>I want my steak and blowjob.</p>

<p>aw cmon caiacs, aren’t you majoring in some kind of math? give us a good pi day joke! :)</p>

<h1>recycling is good</h1>

<p>so here we are again, one year later. it is pi day once more, rejoice and be glad.</p>

<p>math department is giving out free slices of pie from 1:00 to 1:30pm tomorrow in 1015 evans, drop by! :)</p>

<p>definitely waking up at 6 tomorrow to bus down to Nations on University ave and buy good old fashioned bribery pie for some of my profs/peers</p>

<p>ah, pi day… <3</p>

<p>anyway, as is the custom, lay out your best pi jokes/facts/etc! :)</p>

<p>HAHA I thought the first post was today…and was convinced that my laptop was ****ting me and that it really was 2. anywayzzz</p>

<p>Mathematician: Pi r squared
Baker: No! Pie are round, cake are square!</p>

<p>har har har</p>

<p>Doesn’t this mean it’s also MIT decision day?</p>

<p>They usually hand out their decisions at 1509h.</p>

11

<p>^ Correct, though this year they are releasing it at Tau time.</p>

12

<p>Ah, even better. Of course.</p>

13

<p>I wanna go to Cali. And chill.</p>

14

<p>Pi? What’s that?
I’d rather celebrate Tau day ;)</p>

<p>Plus, the weather is much nicer at that time :p</p>

15

<p>I dislike math. Always have. The only time I ever smiled in math class was on Pi Day. So I give this thread my seal of approval. Let the Pi Day goodness commence! Are there any crazy people on CC that have memorized tens/hundreds digits of Pi? There was always someone like that in my classes back in high school.</p>

<p>And crowslayer, you’re actually going to go to Nations and buy a pie for your class/profs? That’s super sweet–pun intended–if a bit obvious :smiley: Thanks for the info about the free pie!</p>

16

<p>^ Yeah, I went this morning and bought 3 pies and shared them with a couple of friends and two of my biz profs throughout the day. It’s funny because I don’t like telling people I’m in the math dept (or even just that I like math) because it’s basically social suicide up on the east side of campus, but today I swallowed my shame and sported my math pride to celebrate the joy that is pi day. </p>

<p>And at MUSA pie event, they had a competition where we had to write out pi to as many digits as we could. The winner had like 40 digits, not shabby. I clocked in with a respectable 3 digit submission ;( lmao.</p>

17

<p>Seriously? Just 40? My math GSI (still undergrad) wrote down close to 100 on the board (memorized first 60 in 6th grade, and rest in 11th lol), and said he would give a bonus point on the quiz to anyone who could beat him haha</p>

<p>Haha, nice ^</p>
