Celebrating Pi Day. That’s right, on March 14 at 1:59 p.m. (from 3.14159...), nerds around the world gather in a peaceful, pi-centered ambiance. Go ahead and bake a pi pie, use pi as a unit of measure for everything, and watch the movie, Pi. It’s all bound to get you in the right celebratory mood. Did you miss the date? Don’t fear—it’s never too late to gather and join hands in the shape whose ratio of its circumference to its diameter is the most revered mathematical constant in the known universe.
