OT: Happy Pi Day!

[android]

It's international pi day today. Pi is a constant and is 3.14xxxxxx. it
has a ewide usage and should celebrated as much as anything worldly!

Some resort to pizza or another form of pi(e) but I have replaced it
with a couple of "semlor" since it's a tuesday in the feasting season
and they could look like pi(e)s from above!

Sooo... Happy Pi Day!!! :-))

Almost cute, but I had to leave when he claimed that the Pi symbol was
introduced in the 1700s by some European. It put the rest of his piece
in perspective for me.

The Greek letter Pi was introduced as a symbol for it by some Welch, not
Raquel in 1709:

I'm sure it was just intended as a bit of fun! ;-)

Did anyone else watch the video clip, I wonder.

A comment from a musician would be good!
