Pi Day and MFP

johncaraher

OK, so because we Americans have a silly convention for dates (month/day/year) today (3/14) is Pi Day in the US. So my wife and I both have calories remaining and she bought a pie, for which 1 1/8 pie serving is 360 calories.

She asked me how many radians I wanted and I said "pi/4." Then she wanted to check the calories before taking hers, and asked,

"So pi/4 = 360?" and I said "Yes"

That made MFP sense but I know whatever part of me is a mathematician should feel ashamed...

Instead of geeking out on my non-geek wife about Pi day, I introduced her to the other 3/14 American Holiday ( http://www.officialsteakandblowjobday.com/ ) -- and I'm very glad I did. Sometimes it pays to repress the inner geek
