From Wikipedia:
Pi Day and Pi Approximation Day are two holidays held to celebrate the mathematical constant π (pi). Pi Day is observed on March 14 (3/14), due to π being roughly equal to 3.14.
And this is the year the US Congress recognizes a National Pi Day! http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-10194354-38.html?part=rss&subj=news&tag=2547-1_3-0-5

And it's also Albert Einstein's birthday (March 14, 1879)

So what are you guys doing in celebration of this special number? smile.gif

    I don't know, but for some reason today I just seem to be going round and round in circles...

    Gotta love it when those 15 minute projects turn into 47.1238898... minute projects because you go in circles trying to find tools you know you have but can't find. Today is one of those days. Happy Pi Day!!

    I think I'm going to dust off the sewing kit and start dropping some needles.

    Happy "3.14159265...." day!

    I can't think of a better circle than a spinning Propeller! Time to head for the cellar lab and celebrate!

    Yes, well, it was much better in the centennial year of Columbus' voyage to America! smile.gif

    BTW, most of the rest of the world, including Canada, probably won't "get" Pi Day, since they write the date 14/3.

    Come to think of it I am experiencing circles today!
    As soon as I get my program unscrewed, my batteries need charging,
    As soon as my batteries are charged, I've screwed my program again!

    That does it I'm Breaking for lunch!
