Happy Pi Day (and Einstein’s Birthday)

March 14th, (3/14), is International Pi day for a somewhat obvious reason. Visit this old site to hear Pi spoken in French (or many other languages) to hundreds of digits, plus links to much pi stuff.

Here’s the wiki for pi day.

Albert Einstein was born on Pi Day 1879, and later redefined the way space curves.

    Also, here is the “human google” who can read a page of writing in 10 seconds, with 98 percent recall (unless it is legal jargon, of course!). But it has taken him decades to learn other things we take for granted.
