(Before It's News)

[This is a re-post of a post from two years ago on, you guessed it, March 14.]

This morning my brother (an engineering nerd, let it be known) emailed to wish me “Happy Pi Day.”

Pi, as you know, is the mathematical ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter.

While pi is a constant, it’s also infinite.

My kids get a kick out of listening to The Pi Song.

For convenience pi is usually shortened to 3.14, hence Pi Day — March 14 — get it? Get it?

Yeah I know, that’s what I get for growing up in a family of nerds…
