#23A funny story..
My girlfriend is student teaching and taking her fourth grade class to the museum for pi day. Yesterday, one of her students (the worst behaving one w/ the most hands off parents) said her mom was coming for the field trip..
Her mom didn't want to miss free pie!
My girlfriend then finds out the entire class thinks they're going for pie day!

#27Here's a Wikipedia article I wrote about a year ago on an interesting "property" of pi: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feynman_point
'It is named after physicist Richard Feynman, who once stated during a lecture he would like to memorize the digits of π until that point, so he could recite them and quip "nine nine nine nine nine nine and so on."'
Over the past month or so, I did exactly that.
Thanks for the article! It gave me a great Pi Day goal.

#28I made a site where you can learn hundreds of digits of pi really easily using the method of loci. I opened sourced the code:
