In case you're not a math nerd, yesterday was Pi Day because the date is 3/14 -- the first three digits of Pi. For those who flunked math, here's a clue: Pi is the literally never-ending number that represents the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. It takes its name from the Greek letter Pi.
Go here for the first 50,000 digits of Pi.
The last time I was this excited about a date was....02/03/04! Let's hear it for three consecutive numbers on the numberline.

Thanks for the post, but I didn't forget about 03/04/05...it just wasn't as exciting. I was just sitting down to Hamburger Helper for dinner. See? ho hum.
But on 02/03/04 05:06:07, I was white-water rafting down the Rio Grande river & stopped briefly to toast the time with mimosas & caviar. See?..exciting.
Can't wait for 05/05/05...
