Happy Pi Day!

We returned to Perkins to celebrate Pi Day 2011 with slices of peanut butter silk and french silk pie. Adam wanted pumpkin and was heartbroken to learn that it is seasonal. I think I see a homemade pumpkin pie in our future.

We prepped for our Pi Day extravaganza with a trip to the rec. I'm going to go ahead and pretend that my slice of pie had fewer calories than I burned in my hour on the exercise bike.

Although we enjoy celebrating Pi Day every year, we are really looking forward to 2015, when the date will represent the first five digits of pi (3.1415) rather than just the first three. Of course, none of this will matter if the world ends in 2012. We'd better live it up while we can.

Speaking of living it up, I had a revelation tonight: because pi's decimal representation never ends or repeats, theoretically any date could be represented in it. Woohoo! Pie every day!

As a special bonus, because we haven't posted in a month, I leave you with pi represented to 50 decimal places. You're welcome.
