Celebrate your inner nerd: Here are National Pi Day $3.14 deals

There are national days for pretty much everything, with “celebrations” often related to food.

Call this one the revenge of the nerds. Tuesday is National Pi Day, with participating businesses jumping into the mathematical fun and hoping to make a few dollars.

“Pi Day is celebrated on March 14th (3/14) around the world,” says the website piday.org. “Pi (Greek letter “π”) is the symbol used in mathematics to represent a constant — the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter — which is approximately 3.14159. Pi has been calculated to over one trillion digits beyond its decimal point.”

National Day Calendar says there are more than 1,200 national days to celebrate. Doughnuts, anyone? That one is June 2, so plan and exercise accordingly.
