Tomorrow Today is pi - 2006

Tomorrow Today is pi day (3/14), and so the super glamorous types at the office are planning a celebration of some kind. Smashed does not know exactly what that might entail, as he and NR have been and will be off-site through tomorrow. This news via WL, who is probably the inspiration for the festivities RS's son, who wanted to bring a pie to math class. Hopefully Apple.

Next up, the ides of March - perhaps we should all dress in togas.


UPDATE: Some Pi links of interest from the beeb.

Amelie director Jean-Pierre Jeunet is set to make a movie of Booker Prize-winning novel Life of Pi.

A Japanese man breaks the world record for reciting pi, the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter, from memory. (7/2/2005) He managed to recite 83,431 digits.

An epileptic "savant" from Kent recites pi to more than 22,500 places, breaking the European record. (3/15/2004) He said: "It literally took me a few weeks to learn the number, and that was backwards as well as forwards, it wasn't a problem for me at all. I would even go so far as to say it was actually rather easy."
