This year's special Pi day



It's 3/14/15 Wow! Happy Pi day of the century and it's a bit early for alcohol so I'm having a special latte at 9: 26: 53 am. This date/time will give us ten digits of pi:

Pi is universal. It is the ratio of every single circle's circumference to its diameter, every circle past, present, real or imagined. 
Pi i infinite Pi literally never ends. We stop somewhere in math class arbitrarily, but that creates a false dead attitude toward the infinity of Pi in our children. They do not get enough infinity.
As Joseph said, "For the briefest of moments, pi will fill the gap in your soul."
