Happy Pi Day!
It's only March, so here in the northern hemisphere nothing's really ripe yet despite the ridiculously lovely weather. Shall we break out the peaches we jarred last summer, or pick up a can of pumpkin? Or we could try the tempting single serving pie in a jar and make a whole range of flavors. With Cosine frosting. mmmmm cosine tastes just like mint. Did you know that cosine is like holly, and you need sine and cosine to cross-pollinate or you won't get any berries? We had this whole patch in my backyard growing up.... wait, sorry, I'm getting off on a tangent. I tend to do that; it's an asymptote of getting older. You lose some functions, and you end up talking about something imaginary and you sound completely irrational.

Something something something integral.
What? It's late.

Hi there, Neo!
 Good to see you around.

check out today's shirt on 6DollarShirts.com. It actually took me a minute to get it.

And here we are again! I'm thinking Key Lime today. Who's in?

A year later, I'm still trying to figure out how you started a new thread in News. But happy Pi Day!

For me, Pi Day was Nye Day. I went to see Bill Nye speak, and annoyed the crap out of him.
Fun fact: When you say "I'm going to be the next Bill Nye" to the man himself, it doesn't go over quite as well as you might think.

No no, I was exaggerating. I know exactly why it was possible: last time we changed forum software, I must've forgotten to set special permissions for this board. Hell, for all I know, everybody can see the secret staff board too.
(Just kidding. Oh, not kidding that there IS a secret staff board; every forum has one. Kidding that I don't know if you can see it. I can check that just by logging out.) Quote:

Happy Pi Day! Although it's been pointed out that March 2014 is Pi Month, so we get to enjoy it a bit longer this year (for the only time all century).
My crusts still suck, but even my sister who has a culinary degree uses the Pillsbury ones, so I don't feel so bad about it.

As long as it's Pi Day, what do people feel about the Tau Manifesto?

Does it state that iota eta pi?
Hmm, no, it's boring by comparison. I don't see any need to change from pi, which is nearly twice as fun to draw as tau.

Out of a combination of laziness and sheer amusement, I made a batch of brownies in a round cake pan instead of a square one. I'm finding the "pie-slice" brownies to be oddly more satisfying than the usual rectangular ones. I may not do them in a square pan again!

On this Pi Day we've lost Stephen Hawking, who had a brilliant mind and a wicked sense of humor.

Sorry, I forgot that we had a Pi Day thread. I refer you to my post in the Link Thread.

I still occasionally snicker over MIT's school cheer:
"Cosine, secant, tangent, sine, Three point One Four One Five Nine!"

That's from MIT? I heard that years ago in calculus class.
It's a shame that I've already covered so many pi related links in years past. I'm sure if anybody cares about discounts on pizza for today they can do the research themselves. Here's What Pi Sounds Like again, but here are some new musical interpretations: The Pi Waltz-turn pi into base 12 before you turn it into music! The Sound of Pi with a simpler method, just assign the digits to ten adjacent keys. Not quite as nice as What Pi Sounds Like, but you have to admit that it has more of an ethereal quality. Numperphile's attempt doesn't sound very good at all
