Pi Day

Today is Pi day. Since Pi is transcendental, you can have your Pi and eat it too (it goes on forever.)

Not confused, just ... irrational.

The world record for the most accurate computation of Pi is 31,415,926,535,897 digits. The calculation was performed by Emma Haruka Iwao and a team of fellow Google employees and took over four months to complete. You can read about it here:

With Pi to 15 digits, I like the fact that the error in a 25 billion mile circle would be less that the length of my little finger. . . .
