If not, shame on you; head to Safeway/Albertson's/whatever right now and pick up the best flavor of Pi they have!

Oh I heard about it yesterday (on 3.14!), and I can't wait to start memorizing Pi!

All day, in my head, I kept singing 3.14159!

My Pi day was severely lacking. And my Ides of March has proved disappointingly loyal.

All the cool people know e's way better.
The scientific method," Thomas Henry Huxley once wrote, "is nothing but the normal working of the human mind." That is to say, when the mind is working; that is to say further, when it is engaged in corrrecting its mistakes. Taking this point of view, we may conclude that science is not physics, biology, or chemistry—is not even a "subject"—but a moral imperative drawn from a larger narrative whose purpose is to give perspective, balance, and humility to learning.

Neil Postman
(The End of Education)

Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge

So,if I may ask a serious Pi related question to our resident math genuises:
how far have they been able to calculate the value of Pi?
