The entire concept of Pi-Day is ridiculous. Tom Send a noteboard - 15/03/2010 12:40:53 PM
I think the first and foremost reason why it's ridiculous is that celebrating Pi-Day on 3/14 rounds Pi to the nearest whole number, which is inimical to Pi. If we celebrated it on 3/141592...etc. it would make sense. The fact that we have no such day means we should just honor Pi in its own, irrational way.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius
