The times, they are a-changin'!
It has come to light that, last week, the US House of Representatives approved a resolution that designates March 14th as "National Pi Day". The resolution encourages schools to use the date to teach their students about Pi (obviously not this year, though) and "engage them about the study of mathematics".
Here's a CNET article on Pi Day and the link to Pi Day resolution on the Library of Congress site.
The nerds have POWER again! MUAH HA HA HA!!!
Ahem... Happy Pi Day!

Assuming by the response to this blog, we are probably all victims of teachers who couldn't teach math well.

Mom: I think it's just that Pi isn't super-hip with the kids these days.
