Oh Pi Day. That wonderful day of the year that feels like an inside joke of the nerd population. I think it's hilarious to wish people a happy Pi Day and have them reply,
"Happy what!?"
I told my wife it was Pi Day and she asked if it was a day we were all supposed to eat pie. I gave her my best "I can't believe you don't know what I'm talking about" face and said,
"No, Pi Day. March 14th, Pi Day"
"Oh," she said, "3, 1, 4"
I can't believe that my nerdiness has failed to rub off.
For those who have any doubt about nerdliness being genetic, let me tell you about what my family did on Pi Day. My father texted "Happy Pi Day" to his children. My brother texted back to tell my father how he was celebrating the occasion. My sister sent a picture of the pie she had made. Another sister also replied, telling about her own pie. We're nerds, it's in our blood (and the left hemisphere of our brains)
How did you celebrate Pi Day?

Nerds are about the most predictable creatures on the planet because we are, above all, creatures of habit. We don't like change (unless it's the new XBOX, or a faster processor) and we don't like risk (eBay makes me nervous). We just want our toys, three square meals a day, and to be taken out for a walk once a week.
About Me
Name: neil
Location: Island of Misfit Toys
Occupation: Rocket Scientist
I am a nerd. I went to math competitions and played in the marching band. I can program the VCR and fix the toaster. I can tie my shoes and occasionally match my own clothes. I own four graphing calculators, know what reverse polish notation means, and can compare the strengths and weaknesses of Science Fiction authors. I am the next step in the evolutionary chain.

Are there really such things as metric terrorists? Are there people so twisted that they'll use the beauty and simplicity of base ten to cause fear and mass hysteria? Oh yeah, the French.

With pies, of course!
I must know--do you have a spaceship named Serenity?
If not, any brothers born in the 2500's?
No?
Huh.
