Happy Pi Day! Yes, I said Pi, not Pie. Pi as in, the infinite mathematical number many of us know simply as 3.14..etc. Pi day is celebrated every year on March 14th. Get it? 3/14 = 3.14?
So where did Pi Day come from?
Pi Day first started being celebrated back in 1988 at San Francisco's Exploratorium. That is basically a museum of science and technology, The official holiday was created by a physicist named Larry Shaw who ironically was an employee at that museum.
According to ABC, the first celebration of Pi Day took place at exactly 1:59pm, which if you know more of the digits to the number, is what follows 3.14. Can you guess any more digits other than 3.14159....? Here's just a few..
