Today is 3-14, or in other words, Pi Day. Larry Shaw is the founder of Pi Day, which was celebrated for the first time in 1988 at the San Francisco Exploratorium.
Pi is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. The value of pi is approximately equal to 3.14 or 3.14159. I could keep adding more decimal places, but I would not be able to stop since the value of pi keeps going on and on.
According to newscientist.com blog, House Resolution 224, supporting the designation of a Pi Day, passed 391-10. Congressman Jason Chaffetz was not willing to support Pi Day because he felt it should go on forever.
