DID YOU KNOW IT WAS INTERNATIONAL "Pi" DAY?
I almost missed it!

It was today at precicesly 1:59:26pm.

Why;you ask?

If you add todays date, March 14, to that time,
it becomes 314145926 or "Pi".

I'm going out to a bakery & buying a slice to celebrate!

You're never gonna fit any of those square pegs in that round hole and fill it completely....lots of numbers there.

(I bet that bankers and investors love seeing numbers jumble around like that though.... )

And it's part of the Cal Tech cheer:

"Cosine, secant, tangent, sine, three point one four one five nine!"
