There are a large variety of ways of celebrating Pi Day and most of them include eating pie and discussing the relevance of π.

"Math geeks and calendar freaks collide today. Pi is 3.14, and the date is 3/14."
By the way, today is also Albert Einstein's birthday.

PI Day is also St. Patty's Day here so I'll be having some green beer with my pie. Rainy and cold so I skipped the parade downtown but the local Irish pub is a GO.
Carolan, sounds like a good way to celebrate! The 17th is St. Patty's Day here and I usually have lunch with friends at an Irish Pub where we can watch the Parade on TV. No pie though.
