Happy PI π Day. The Greek Letter π was first used as shorthand for π by Welsh mathematician William Jones in 1706—more than three hundred years ago. Also somewhat ironically, Albert Einstein was born this day in 1879, and Stephen Hawking died this day in 2018—Hawking was born on January 8, the day Galileo died. Quite a pair of bookends to Hawkings life.
I’m more interested in what kind of pies those were. My favourite is Key Lime Pie. And since pies are circular in shape, they are the perfect way to celebrate π Day.

That seems irrational.

I know it for 5 spots (3.14159) because that’s how far the Asgard tested for it on Stargate SG-1

Brewster is right. Pi is an errational number, so it’s Pi-e Day /s

The best Pi Day was 9 years ago, when the American system produced 3-14-15.

Fun Fact: The last digit of the decimal expansion of pi is 7.

Yesterday I had a piece of pinto bean pie (yeah, I know) at the Bush Bean welcome center. It was actually quite good and tasted a lot like pecan pie.

My password is the last four digits of pi.

Just a little bit more, Brewster.

Doesn’t matter, any excuse to eat PIE is good enough for me!

He’s more analytical than I thought, if he could get it down to .14.

Ooo, .00159165… of his pie is still left for dessert (as long as it is wafer thin)

Woulda been just as funny, maybe funnier, if Brewster had said, “Just a little over three”.

That’s some appetite Brewster has.
I’d be lucky to get past 1.0
