The Greek letter π is a symbol used by mathematicians to denote the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. Rounded to eight decimal places, the number is 3.14159265. Here's a photo of the symbol baked into a pie crust:
Let's play with numbers as well as words today. So thinking of 3.14, take a look at the calendar. March is the 3rd month of the year, and today is the 14th day of March, making this 3-14 or 3/14. Use a period instead of a dash or a slash, and we get 3.14 making today Pi Day. Wow!
What do you think of when I say, "Pie"? Well, you may think of desert, while I'm thinking about lunch. So take your pick.
Or even better, we could have BOTH pizza pie and an apple pie for desert on this Pi Day and call it a meal. Yeah, sounds good to me!
Hmm, I haven't added any books today. Does it matter? No, not really.
I'll "eat humble pie," if necessary. You know that phrase means I will humbly apologize, if you aren't happy that I failed to include books in this blog post, right?
