Happy Pi Day!

Pi, as I hope you know, is the mathematical concept that helps mathematicians and grade schoolers find the area of a circle. Just off the top of my head, Pi is approximately  3.14159265358979323846264338327950288419716939937510582097494459230781640628620899862803482534211706798214808651…and it goes on and on.  
In actual numbers, Pi is usually shorthanded to 3.14. So it should come as no surprise that nerds everywhere have designated March 14th, or 3/14, as Pi Day.
Even if you don't like math, it's a great excuse to eat delicious pie. I’m going to try and talk that special, wonderful significant somebody into making a banana cream.  
This site gives Pi to the one millionth digit. http://www.piday.org/million.php
Mmmm…pie….I'm quite irrational about this.
