From Petsi Pies:

Pi Day 2010
March 14th (3/14) is Pi Day! 1:59 PM on March 14th is the Pi Minute! To celebrate, we will be distributing free 'minute' pies at 1:59 PM on March 14th.

Also throughout the day we will be issuing a pi challenge. If you can recite 314 digits of the famed mathematical constant you will be awarded a free Pie-Per-Season certificate (that's 4 large pies), and a Petsi Pies t-shirt.

Start practicing:

Looks like this is only valid in their Somerville store, though they don't say. The Somerville location is at: 285 Beacon St next to the little Star Market, and near the pedestrian underpass between Somerville Ave and Beacon. (Phone: 617.661.7437)

Happy Pi Day (and minute) everyone!

Neat! I was wondering if they were doing the same deal as last year (10% off a pie, additive, for every 10 digits of pi you could recite). But I bet they lost too much money that way... (I crammed 90 in a week, and as I was finishing my recital a 13-year-old boy with big glasses and a super-nerdy T-shirt came in and I was thinking, oh, I know he's going to kick my butt...Good pie, though. For cheap.)

Wonder if that underpass is flooding today.

Here's another Pi Day event I just learned about. (But do I really want to bike or wait for a bus in the rain for this?)

I don't like PI.

It's irrational.
