Lets see who the nerds are.
Many people ate pie (all kinds) on March the fourtheenth in 2014. They still do maybe in lesser numbers on March the fourteenth. Can you think of any reason why they might do this.
Let's bump it up a notch, why do groups eat guacamole on October 23 between the hours of 6:02 am and 6:02 pm?
Does Pizza count? What if we work out the calories for different sized slices based on the area of the slice?
They're older now, with more blood sugar problems.
I don't eat pie at all now.
I have the good fortune of working with a team of engineers and researchers in Silicon Valley ... we never fail to eat pie on the 14th of March, and hold a contest for best home baked recipe. This year it was a lovely Key lime that stole the show. Alas, I'm a poor baker!
It is the only day we can legitimately celebrate something irrational.
I just didn't have time to make a gluten free, Ketogenic pie. I'm thinking an almond flour crust pumpkin pie might work at some point...
Pi Day is an annual celebration of the mathematical constant π . Pi Day is observed on March 14 (3/14 in the month/day format) since 3, 1, and 4 are the first three significant digits of π.[2][3] In 2009, the United States House of Representatives supported the designation of Pi Day.[4]
π day has become a mainstream thing now, and yes, we make a pie each year for it. But for true nerd cred we make 2 pies on June 28 for τ day
Additionally, 3/21 was Down Syndrome Day (3 copies of chromosome 21). Monday 3/26 is Epilepsy Awareness Day, the color is purple. And 4/1 is Autism Awareness Day (blue) or Autism Acceptance Day (gold/yellow, because Au is the chemical symbol for gold). I'm already prepared, although I'm wearing my gold on 4/2 since I'll be home on Easter, relaxing.
