Happy Pi Day!

If PI goes on without end how can you ever truly find the circumference or diameter of a circle?

Reminds me of the old MIT football cheer:
e to the x, dy/dx
e to the x, dx
secant tangent cosine sine
3.14159!

You just take 22/7 and subtract an irrational number. :)

If I give you a one-pound cake, how can you truly divide it into three equal parts, by weight?

The math teacher at our school makes Pi day into a very big deal. The kids make posters, and bring in all kinds of goodies
To top it off the kids have a competition seeing who knows and can say Pi to the longest number.
The student who won this year was able to recite Pi to the 210th number.

Isn’t that great? My kids teachers to the same. Naturally my son won one year ;), but only to the 189th number.

That is a devil’s trick perpetratd by atheists and other such subversives. Everyone knows PI is 3.00 as proven in the first book of Kings? God hates decimals and fractions.

I thought it was cute to name 3.14... Pi day but being Einstein's birthday is a little freaky.

Wasn’t it an Indiana school board that tried to pass a rule to make Pi equal to exactly 3.00? Because 3.14159265... was “too hard” for the kids.
