    Pi day

    In America it comes this year. In other countries it comes... never, because there's not a 14th month. Sorry rest of the world.

    It's also because there aren't 31 days in April. It would be 31/4, but only 30 days.

    Actually

    pi is 3.1416

    or

    3.14159

    but it is not 3.1415

    Pi day is a lie

    One of my favourite things about pi (and other irrational numbers) is that they are reasonably good proof that we are not living in the matrix because computers don't do so well with the infinite. If pi truly never resolves then a computer would spend all of time trying to resolve it, so the matrix wouldn't run properly if we were in it in a world with irrational numbers.

    It's always pi day on 3/14. Because pi is 3.14. Then you add in the rest of the stuff and it's a pretty special pi day.
    To say today Pi = 3.1415 is just wrong, mathematically wrong

    The special Pi day is next year, in 2016

    Pi = 3.1416

    This year's "special" Pi day is lie, a dirty despicable rotten unmathematical lie

    If we started rounding pi to 3.1415, our whole world would collapse, satellites would fall out of the sky, etc

    Consider humble pi. It is a number never ending.
    It never repeats itself as its value keeps ascending.

    Based upon a circle, many men have tried

    to calculate the ratio of its width to its outside.

    It is called irrational because it can not be made a fraction.

    The challenge of its nature has been a call to action.

    The number pi has played a role in every life on earth.

    From physics to statistics, its always proved its worth.

    The tires that you ride on, the table where you dine,

    little pi was there throughout its concept and design.

    Humble pi is constant - its been a great addition

    and quietly serves us each day without recognition.

    If you can not appreciate why I hold this number high,

    then shame! It is you that should be eating humble pie.

    The rest of the world can celebrate on July 22 (22/7).

    that because america and a few other countries in the world use a very, very stupid method of dating.

    Maybe one day you'll join the rest of the world and also get a weight system that makes sense. But I doubt it.

    Add an E at the end of Pi and I'm in!

    No thanks. I much prefer the way our system looks.
