Happy International Pi Day!

Pi goes on and on forever and never stops!  Nope!  Never!  There’s not even a pattern to the numbers (it’s irrational).  
This is not the kind you eat (sorry), but the mathematical pi. 
HERE is a link to a past post I wrote about Pi.

  There are fun facts about pi.   
  There's an interesting video on Daniel Tammet, an autistic savant with synesthesia, who set a new British and European record when he recited the number pi from memory to 22,514 decimal places in a time of 5 hours, 9 minutes, 24 seconds.  He did this to raise awareness about epilepsy.  (He's written a couple books and has a website.)

So hop on over and check it out!  (Post any comments over there please!)
