Pi Day
a celebration of circles, the Greek letters that symbolize them, and the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. Math enthusiasts all over the world celebrate Pi Day on March 14th, since, as everyone knows, Pi = 3.1415926535... an irrational number, meaning it will continue infinitely without repeating.
There’s nothing irrational about how to celebrate, however! In honor of the day, that purveyor of circular food, Pizza by the Guy, is donating 10% of all their pizza orders, whether dine in, carry out, or delivery, to the Owensboro Museum of Science and History!
Either location can take care of your Pi Day needs:
3115 Commonwealth Court #A1. 686-8603
1915 West Parrish Avenue. 685-4694
Visit the World Pi Day website at http://www.piday.org for more ideas on how to celebrate, and be sure to order a delicious pizza on March 14th from Pizza by the Guy. It’s as easy as pie!
