National Pi Day

OK, quick.  Why is today National Pi Day?

It's March 14.  3.14.  Get it?  Yeah, I rolled my eyes too.  I was pushing for July 22, but what do I know?

But hey, it's also Albert Einstein's birthday (Happy 132nd, big guy!). 

So, in honor of the raw **intellectualness** of March 14, check out how musician Michael John Blake from Portland, Oregon has transformed the numbers of Pi into a song.  (Note:  The Youtube video has been pulled, but the "Listen Now" interview still works).

Or, here's an annoying -- but somehow addicting -- little video dedicated to the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of a circle.



Oh, and for what it's worth, National Pie Day was January 23.  Sorry, we missed that one!
