have a wonderful time.

So how about this morning I caught the beginning of the show I was going on (starts at 7 but I didn't need to be at the studio until ten to 8) and when one guy mentioned it's Pi Day another talked smack about it and in terms of my being a guest said "I wonder if she'll bring pie?" Well fuck, couldn't let that stand, and a bakery in my area makes good mini one person apple pies, so I took over a few to continue the joke. They were pretty floored, obviously.

Happy Pi Day indeed!

Wait... you live in Europe....

You must have 14 months in your year and it is the third day of the 14th month, or the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter is 14.3.

Thank you!

Oh, you mean the number.

Hahahaha well I actually had quite a few astronomers complain about this story to me. I always respond with "well, if you guys want to start conforming to my standards I'm not complaining!"

Also in those circles to be fair, Pi Day is out and Tau Day on June 28 is in...

I still maintain that Pi r round... cake r squared

There is even a stuffed bear who supports Tau.


Oh come on, don't you remember the book "The Tau of Pooh"?

Well... yeah... but cornbread can also be round... cake r square, round or rectangular... Pi, however... is ALWAYS round...
