Everyone's all excited about Pi Day (3.14) this year. They're overlooking several key facts:
1. To be more precise, Pi Day would have been 3.14.1593. We missed it by 416 years.
2. As a real number, Pi on the timeline would last not a whole day, not even a second or a microsecond. It would be over the instant that it began.
3. Like most of its celebrants, Pi is irrational.
4. Pi tastes better if you add e to it.
Personally, I'm saving up for Golden Ratio Day. See you on January 6, 1803.
