Happy Pi Day DU!

[kpete]

For any circle you can imagine, if you divide the distance around the circle by the distance across it,
you will get pi, or

3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971693993751058209749445923078164062862089986280348253421170679821480865132823066470938446095505822317253594081284811174502841027019385…

We could keep going, but you get the picture.

4. There'a a bunch of nerds at some sporto fan website that're having a drink at just before 9:27...

...for people who wanna take it that far.

(Wait...nerds AND sportos? Thank you, Internet!)

5. on it.............

What's more, at precisely 9:26:53 am, we'll have Pi Second: an even more magical time at which the date and time match up with the first 10 digits of pi, 3.141592653.

But it doesn't stop there. As University of Toronto statistician Jeffrey S. Rosenthal has pointed out, at an infinitesimally brief moment just after 9:26:53.58979 am but slightly before 9:26:53.5898 am, we'll have Pi Instant

7. A ten-thousandth of a second is an instant? I did not know that.

8. Didn't that data pass two weeks ago in South Carolina?

Or was it North Carolina? I can't remember. Maybe it was Alabama, but anyway.

Didn't their GOP congress want Pi to be rounded to 3, marking March 0 with that distinction?
