Here are some puzzles for the more mathematically inclined: http://wordplay.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/03/09/%cf%80/
Celebrating pi day is ..well, irrational.
Not when there is pie involved. Then it is quite rational.
Of course there are plenty of other irrationalities about it:
Since Pi is 3.1415(9...), shouldn't Pi day be (rounded to) next year, 3.14.16?
That would be more rational...
I think we need a "+1" button here on posts here. Love these last two posts!
Speaking of day of the century, Marty McFly is supposed to arrive tomorrow in the DeLorean and we don't even have real hover boards for him to ride. WTF science...
My wife and I were planning on going to the Back to the Future marathon at our local movie theater tomorrow evening. But our baby sitter canceled today. :(

yeah, you can't really bring them with you at that age. Too bad. I've got a 6yo girl. She's actually got an account on wargear, but has only played a couple of private games so far.

Ha! I'll share that one with my son, he loves those puns...
They help assuage the pain of knowing there won't be another good pi day for 100 years. Although they all pale in comparison to the one in 1593.
