Once again, it's π day, and the best way to celebrate π day is with this brilliant video from my pal Chris Hardwick:
And if that's not enough for you, please enjoy this classic WWdN π day rerun:
This morning over breakfast, I said to my wife, "Happy π day!""Happy pie day? What the hell are you talking about?"
"No, not 'pie'," I said. "'π'."
"Not 'pie,' but 'pie.'" She was clearly not amused. "Isn't it a little early to be drinking?"
"Anne, look at the date on the calendar."
"Yes it's march 14th, and you're going to watch WrestleMania dos equis* with your brother." She frowned. "Are you trying to tell me that you're taking a pie to Jeremy's house? Because if you expect me to make you a pie . . ."
"No, I don't expect you to make me a pie." I said, well into that area where you've explained the joke so much, it's never going to be funny.
"Today is March fourteenth. That makes it 3.14 on the calendar. 3.14 is also known as π."
She blinked a few times.
"Oh. It's π day."
"Yes!" I said. "And at 1:59 pm, it will be even more π day. Isn't that cool!?"
She took a long, thoughtful drink from her coffee mug, carefully set it down and said, "You are such a nerd."
*It's actually Wrestlemania XX, as in Wrestlemania Twenty, but we've been cracking ourselves up by calling it Wrestlemania dos equis all week.
Happy March 14, everyone. May you know the area of every circle you encounter today.
