Today, 3-14-15, is a once-in-a-century Pi day! To celebrate, I’m serving up a “slice” of pie! In case you’re math is a little rusty, you can brush up visiting Wonderopolis, or by watching this TED ED video:

Otherwise, dig in!

In case you’re on a diet, you can enjoy pie vicariously through books,

  8. I am on a diet, so I’ll have a slice of the virtual pi today. I say every year after the fact, “I should’ve celebrated Pi Day.” One of these days…
