Happy Pi Day!
Today, March 14th, is Pi Day. (Get it? Third month, fourteenth day; pi=3.14…) While the first Pi Day was celebrated back in 1988 with staff of the San Francisco Exploratorium marching around one of its circular spaces and eating fruit pies, it took until March 12, 2009 for the U.S. House of Representatives to pass a non-binding resolution recognizing March 14th at National Pi Day.
So now that it is an “official” holiday and all that, I thought I’d pop in here to tell you all to have a great day, or night as it is now, and also give you three great reminders of what 3.1415926535… has brought to the pop culture world.
First, there’s the mathematical thriller Pi from Darren Aronofsky about a paranoid mathematician who searches for a key number that will unlock the universal patterns found in nature.
Second, there’s the always absolutely amazing Kate Bush and her song, Pi.
And lastly, there’s The Net, the cyber-thriller where Sandra Bullock is thrown into a web of computer espionage after clicking on a mysterious pi symbol found at the bottom of her computer screen after loading a program sent to her to de-bug.
I would also like to add that you should most definitely be eating some pie, specifically a pi pie, while you break out the movie Pi tonight.

Sex-Positivity
I'm passionate about sex-positivity and believe every sexual being should have the freedom to explore their sexuality safely and without condemnation. I even lost my ad network after my refusal to censor myself after reviewing feminist porn.So if you're in the market for sex toys, porn, books, etc. take a look at the retailers below, all of which are feminist-friendly.
Out Campaign
The OUT Campaign allows individuals to let others know they are not alone. It can also be a nice way of opening a conversation and help to demolish the negative stereotypes of atheists. Let the world know that we are not about to go away and that we are not going to allow those that would condemn us to push us into the shadows.
Pi day? lol, never heared about it, really enjoyed the idea. Thanks!
This calls for a Pi-eyed celebration!
Pi Day? Holiday? Why don't we in the UK know about this and when do we get a national holiday out of this? Teeeeh! Great idea and I'm rooting for it to catch on worldwide – always looking for more ways to take it easy over here in Europe, UK.
Great Kate Bush tune by the way, thanks.
First time I've heard of pi-day but its a very clever idea. Also its another day to celebrate and drink so there's nothing wrong with that.
Pi Day was my birthday thank for sharing this
Very clever hahah! I didn't know this, might have to share it on facebook to get the word out.
I had to laugh out loud when I saw this title. I just learned of this day as my son's new school celebrated it this year. What I love most about it….it brings to light math in a fun way. Go figure! If more educators can figure out how to make math fun more kids would probably excel at it. Thanks for a great post.

John Henry Johnson made the ’78 A’s rotation out of spring training at age 21, without having pitched above class A. He threw 6 scoreless IP to win his debut, a 1-0 game. He allowed 1 run in 6.2 IP his second game. Then he threw a shutout in his 3rd game; a 4-hit CG win in his 5th game; and a 3-hit shutout in his 8th game.
