Today, 3/14 is National Pi Day, celebrating the mathematical value that
proves that what goes around doesn't necessarily come around.

Math departments around the nation are celebrating by singing songs
dedicated to Pi, and by, you guessed it, eating pie.


National Pi day should be 14/3 surely, using 3/14 gives some staggeringly
wrong answers.



So does 14/3, but I'll give it credit for being a lot closer than 3/14

14/3 = 4.666... according to the math I learned.
3/14 = 0.214285

Methinks that the math folks would be better off celebrating it on July
22 (22/7, doncha know...)
