They celebrate PI day when it should be... the day that the earth has gone Pi radians around the sun
(180 degrees around the sun).

Or you could do 2PI radians so that it could align with FIRSTmas every year.

Everyone paused for reflection at 1:59:26 this afternoon, right?

GMT/Zulu? That's when the ISS crew would do that. OTOH, they're probably longing for pi of any sort when looking into that food locker.

Yes, pi is the golden boy among the irrational numbers, but I think we should all take a moment to appreciate some of the other, equally important irrationals, such as phi or e.

But it's not Phi day! We could make pie by doing$@#pi^e, but....

I had math class at that time. There was a pause in pie eating, and a large "WOOHOO!"

Yeah, Don. It's not like we invented it or anything. There is already Facebook presence and a place hawking stuff in anticipation of the date and time. No mention of GMT that I saw though. I was thinking of a more culinary celebration of the pumpkin, apple, lemon meringue, and chocolate cream varieties. This ratio between the circumference and diameter has been done to death. We should get back to ignoring calories. Grandma would approve!
