Luckily, someone mentioned to someone else and they mentioned to me so I'll mention to you.
It's Pi Day. Yes, 3/14 is the date and the value of Pi is 3.14.
And, just in case you are wondering what the complete value of Pi is, well of course I can't tell you, but I can get it a little bit better than just the 3.14. This year I'll write 3.14159. Next year, maybe more. Tune in then and see.
I found this article and wish I had thought up the opening sentence.
"Mathematics geeks turned irrational as they celebrated Pi Day Monday, the day of the year which represents the first three digits of the mathematical constant pi --3.14."
Irrational, ooh that is so smart.
Anyway, there's a lot of information about Pi at Wikipedia here if you are interested. It is interesting, so you should take a look.
