Pi Day: We're doing it wrong

[yendi]

Pi Day this year coincided with our local (to our office) holiday of Frost Your Own Friday, an annual event on which we take unfrosted cupcakes, put frosting on them, and eat them. So, although I've eaten no pie today, I've enjoyed three cupcakes.

But Pi Day is tomorrow! There is still time to celebrate!

Except Pi Day is tomorrow.

Yeah, but like any holiday that falls on a weekend, you're supposed to celebrate on a weekday and make it a holiday.

See my comment above. Eating pie at work on a Saturday would suck. Because I'd be at work on a Saturday.

I'm making pie over at xuth's house tonight because I'm not going to be around tomorrow.

You should have a small fraction of another. *nod*

Or, from another perspective, he's eaten 6 pi today, and should have stopped with half a cupcake. Your suggestion is a little more realistic though.

OK - I'll accept that. You should still try to celebrate it at home. I'm thinking I'll make a frozen peanut butter pie. I tend to prefer fruit pies, but those are best in the summer. :)

BTW - nice music selection!

Oh, great. I hadn't even thought about tomorrow being Pi Day. So in addition to making cookies for the D&D game on Sunday, I have to bake a pie tomorrow.

you just need to eat another roughly 1/7th of a cupcake.

See, you should be celebrating TUPA day instead!

Remember folks, May 18th = Transatlantic Unified Pi Approximation Day!
Because ( 3.14 + 22/7 ) / 2 = SO much more accurate! =:o>

o jeez. i should read the comments more carefully.

sir, you precede me.

I agree. It would only be "doing it wrong" if you round off to 3 cupcakes. :)
