A slice of pi?

Living in the Silicon Valley is not without its side effects. Take, for instance, the fact that I happen to *know* that today is pi day (pi as in the number 22/7 or 3.1415xxxx...) because today's date is March 14 (3.14).
Now, the piles upon piles of useless trivia in my head are feeling extremely uncomfortable sharing neighborly space with this pearl of information which has the word 'geeky' written all over it.
Anyhow, the tradition apparently is to smash some pies to mark the occasion. Loath to the idea of wasting good food, especially dessert, but still wanting to uphold the spirit of things, hubby and I have decided to eat pie and get smashed ourselves, instead.
Might even be appropriate to sing: Thodi si jo pi li hai...
Happy pi day!
