This Is Historical---3.14.15
What will YOU do to celebrate?
I was thinking a pizza w/PIne nuts, raspberry tart w/a sphere of ice cream or PIneapple?
maybe at 9:26 I could serve quiche, rosti potatoes and a cantaloupe half filled w/fresh fruit.
Be prepared, people!
Well I’m a stickler for tradition, so I’m going with pie, probably apple, although I’m not quite sure as the pi-sibilities are endless.Quote:

I was bored in my 8th grade math class. My teacher had a poster along the front of the room with pi.

I would remember more if it weren't for the overhead projector screen covering up the rest.
When you round it up for celebratory purposes>>>>>>>>>>>>>>TODAY IS PI DAY!!!!!
Last year apple pie, this year pizza pi……
I know, I’ll get my hat :cool:
But only in the US as in most of the world there is no 14th month !!
I can't figure out why it's written 14Mar2016 over there (how I write my checks) and US writes Mar 14, 2016, when numerically it's written your weird way. It's logical to say "today is the fourteenth". Spock would concur; illogical to speak today is the third month and 14 days. It's those darned words--messes up everyone!Quote:

Hey, try foreign visas where they want 2 digit year FIRST!! ARGHHHHHHHH
Go figger! viva la difference.
I’ll go along with M7 and admit the dd/mm/yyyy format is easier more efficient, "logical", but then again so is US spelling - really Paul, British spelling uses a lot of extra U’s. :cool:
Maybe that's the Norman influence? Do me a favour and colour me jaded. My family crest is descended from William de Warren and I'm off to Normandy to learn a wee bit more history. Perhaps we shouldn't be so Hastings. Can't wait to ask for serviettes and watch mums put nappies in the bins. Thank God the French don't drive on the WRONG SIDE!! (apologies to Mig--I don't have a hat...)
And when it comes to PI Day--only the Brits use potahtoes for a pie crust (and it has MEAT--not fruit)...
Hope you have a sense of humour, BritSky!
PS--what about aluminium??BLIMEY
Exactly, there’s no need for that extra “I“. And M7(MS Kentucky) I’m thinking you got a couple of Derby hats buried somewhere in your closet. One thing for sure, a Kentucky girl would never wear a beret.:cool:Quote:
