As you may or may not be aware, tomorrow, March 14th, is Pi Day. For those less enthusiastic in the science realm, a little explanation: The date tomorrow: 3/14.
Pi: 3.14.
Last year a professor and I started a department-wide celebration. I made flyers. We were going to celebrate Pi Day with STYLE!
I went down to Village Inn (called in an order in advance) and picked up 40 pies of all assortments. We had a big party in our conference room starting at noon and going till 1:59 (Pi is 3.14159). Well, sadly enough, within 35 minutes every last crumb of pie had disappeared and we still had an hour to celebrate!
(never underestimate the power of a starving student)
One of our newer and quite eccentric faculty members had made up a Pi song. Well, it's basically singing the numbers of Pi to 30 decimal places, to the tune of "America" from West Side Story. What a riot!!
THIS year, we are out-doing ourselves. We are not limiting the bounds of Pi Day to just dessert pies. Oh no. Along with 40 dessert pies we are also ordering 35 pizza pies. WHAT A PARTY! So tomorrow, we will celebrate with all our Nerd Pride. Perhaps some pictures will be posted later...
I'm proud to call you my sister.
