    happy pi day to you! my kids used to attend a parochial school in Our Town and they celebrated this. this celebratory song is sung to the tune of “oh christmas tree”):

    Oh, number Pi
    Oh, number Pi
    Your digits are unending,
    Oh, number Pi
    Oh, number Pi
    No pattern are you sending.
    You’re three point one four one five nine,
    And even more if we had time,
    Oh, number Pi
    Oh, number Pi
    For circle lengths unbending.

    Oh, number Pi
    Oh, number Pi
    You are a number very sweet,
    Oh, number Pi
    Oh, number Pi
    Your uses are so very neat.
    There’s 2 Pi r and Pi r squared,
    A half a circle and you’re there,
    Oh, number Pi
    Oh, number Pi
    We know that Pi’s a tasty treat.

    I just got an e-mail from the National Academics Press about it being International Pi Day and suggesting some science books in the spirit of the day. I think this is the first advertising e-mail from them I’ve ever gotten. Odd.

    How weird to say that it’s International Pi Day, as if the UN had to vote to make sure that calculation was accepted by a majority of nations.

    Even weirder to be International Pi Day given that the United States is nearly alone for places for which today is 3/14 instead of 14/3.
