Pi = 3.1415926

And also a pastry.
It was all over the papers, and radio and TV and everywhere.
March 14, the numeric calendar date coincides with the constant value derived from the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter: 3.14. A mathematical/calendar and pastry pun! It works on so many levels.
This year was all the more special because the representation of the date when you include the year ran the value of pi out to 4 decimal places. 3.1415
Kind of nerdy and kind of tasty. Sue asked, "What kind of pie for pi day?" I suggested using the jar of rhubarb in the pantry. Baked at 350 degrees and done! Umm, Ummm.
Out of the oven and served at 9:26; all the better because this runs the pi decimals all the way out to 7 places - how cool is that? 3.1415926.
