Fun facts about Pi day:

On March 12, 2009, the US House of Representatives passed a non-binding resolution recognizing March 14 as National Pi Day.

For Pi Day 2010, Google presented a Google Doodle celebrating the holiday, with the word Google laid over images of circles and pi symbols.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has often mailed its application decision letters to prospective students for delivery on Pi Day. Starting in 2012, MIT has announced it will post those decisions (privately) online on Pi Day at exactly 6:28pm, which they have called "Tau Time", to honor the rival numbers Pi and Tau equally.

Oh, you Brits...

Driving on the wrong side of the road

Calling a parking lot a car park

Spelling color and flavor wrong

And what exactly is that boot and bonnet thing?

Now Twinky, don't you know it's all about America? :jump:

bfh, we spell verbs with "s" at the end too, not "z" (advertise, exercise, authorise)

Speaking of zzzzz - maybe it's time to go to bed.

Oh by the way, those things are called "zed" not "zee."

Zee, it's easy (e-z) when you know how.

Psychedelic looking ammonite, there, Ron.

FWIW, I did notice we had a palindromic day here recently: 21.3.12.
