Happy Pi Day everyone! I was surprised no one else had yet posted it for this year so I decided to go ahead with it.

In case you don't know what that is, then wiki always helps.

If there's a particular way you celebrate Pi day, then post about it. I think the usual way is just make a pie with Pi on top of it.

Mmm smell that Pi!

Darn, you got to it first, I was waiting until 3 (but got side tracked) being that 3PM is 15 military time and so it would then be 3/14/15

Traditionally, the associated time has always been 1:59.

Also, here's a taste of what Pi can sound like!

This is my preferred π day song.

Festivities here were fun as usual, with free pie provided by the Mathematics Society at 1:59 pm.

I wrote something in light of π day, examining cryptography in the context of Summer Wars.

Yay for pi day! I was drawing Final Fantasy characters today and two different people suggested that I should put pi or pie in there. Sadly... it would not fit. Why does Zack's hair take up so much space!?

I am going to go nuts trying to figure out where I've heard this. Yes, I'm aware it's a parody of the opening of Bakemonogatari, but I've never seen that anime, so that's not where I've heard it. I've heard it SOMEWHERE, on an AMV or something but for the life of me I can't remember at all.

I may hate math, but it's a holiday, after all. So, happy Pi Day!

...I figured it out. I linked this on CAA at some point in the past.

I don't remember in what thread, or why. But I can't believe I remembered that song subconsciously all this time. I think I like this version better than the original actually...

Actually, it does seem like something Nate would like.
