I agree with pie being amazing...but can someone tell me why we're celebrating pi? Sorry if I'm naive, but I'm only in Geometry right now. :)

the date is 3/14/08. Pi is a number that relates to the circumference and areas of circles, and it happens to approximate to 3.14159.

Oh, OK. yeah, I had a pretty decent idea what it was, and I picked up on the date\3.14 thing, but do we care just to have a reason to eat pie? And why don't we celebrate (ex.) the acceleration of gravity on September 8th?

I just threw my misbehaving printer out my third floor window. It made a really nice crashing sound and pieces went everywhere. It was the most satisfying thing I have done in a long time... :)

Acceleration due to gravity is dependent on the units used. It only applies near earth. It is measured, while Pi is calculated. Essentially, gravity is physics while Pi is math. e day would be nice, except February doesn't have a 71st day.

Celebrating e could be on the 271st day of the year which would be Sept 28 on normal years and Sept 27 on leap years. And if the 314th day of the year was for Pi, it would be Dec 7 on normal years and Dec 6 on leap years.

I might have calculated these dates wrong.

If you take a look around,you most definately will find something not straight in manner (i.e. curved). With 6 years under my belt studying physics, I can tell you that in order to do any physics with a curved object, you need the shape of an object in space, and pi is a number that makes it all work out. Without it, physics with curved object would be impossible.

Alright, that makes sense. I suppose since I'm interested in engineering, it sounds like it might come in handy. Thanks for the info!

Giving praise to anyone/anything I think God would allow as long as highest praise is to Him.
