How's the circle treating everyone?
I'm going to listen to "Pi" on Aerial and have one for dinner.
Full Version: π (Pi) day
QUOTE(wikipedia)
Pi Day is celebrated in a variety of ways. Parties or other observances may be held by mathematics departments in educational institutions. Math or science clubs might gather to consider the role that the number π has played in their lives and to imagine the world without π.
Let's hear it for those wild and crazy wacky mathematics departments! And to think I wasted my time on Panty Raids!

Pi Day has nothing on Mole Day!
QUOTE(wikipedia)
Mole Day is an unofficial holiday celebrated among chemists in North America on October 23, between 6:02 AM and 6:02 PM, making the date 6:02 10/23 in the American way of writing out dates. The time and date are derived from Avogadro's number, which is approximately 6.02x10^23, defining the number of particles (atoms or molecule) in a mole, one of the seven basic SI units.
Many high schools around the United States and in Canada celebrate Mole Day as a way to get their students interested in chemistry. Results have been mixed.

MOLE DAY RULES!
being the nerd that i was in high school i was in honours chem where, on mole day, we had a party and were all assigned a certain element (i was platinum) and had to design the life of a mole around said element. i utilized paper mache and my mother's doll furniture to get a 115 on the project. hooray! then i ate brownies. brownies have nothing to do with mole day but they sure are good.
Pie much more deserving of celebration:

haha.
....yes.
but at my school, any one in the higher classes pretty much had to be. (which i was. 11th grade bc calc w0ot!) and also, it was an excuse to miss any class out of the day in order to take the quiz.

Yeah.

I love Pi Day...because today is also Steak & BJ Day, and when I bring that fact up to my wife and she gives me "one of those looks," I tell her, "Don't worry baby, it's also Pi Day!"
I'm expecting good times tonight.

I was a Mathlete and a Science Olympiad. And a member of the Quizbusters team, which was competitive trivia.
