The Return of Pi-Day 2007
Pi Day is thought of being on March 14 every year, but do remember 22/7 is the closest fraction approximation of pi. In European style dates are written day/month as opposed to American style which is month/day soooo.....

Pi- Easy as 3.14159265...
How I wish I could recollect pi easily today!
Well here is a way to recollect pi easily today:
Count the number of letters in each word in the first statement and that number corresponds to a digit in pi.
How-3
I-1
Wish-4
I-1
Could-5
.
.
.
You should get 3.1459265 after finishing the phrase.
This phrase is called a PIEM. Another piem is:
"The point I said a blind Bulgarian in France would know."
Notice that point is in red. This is so becuase it actually represents the decimal point and should not be counted as a digit.
Have fun making your own piems and post them in a comment. Every once in a while I will post a piem.
