    Well, since Pi is involved in Technology and such, thought I'd post it here =P

    Today is national Pi Day!

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi_Day

    My math teacher back in high school would have 5-6 people bring in pies (volunteers), then the entire class got the day off just to eat pie and chat. Was awesome lol, anyone else have teachers who do this?

    Unaware if this is celebrated outside of the US unfortunately >_<
