Received via email from my geek brother.

This doesn't look like it could possibly work, but it does (it made sense after I thought about it for a while, and also I checked it with a friend who's a math professor):

Not quite as therapeutic as gardening, maybe, but hey, it involves processed meat products, so it has that going for it.
That's so funny! I think since I'm a geek myself, I'd likely do it with spaghetti since it said thinner is better. Plus, the only frozen hot dogs I have in my freezer are good ones from New England (really, truly, they are good!)
This makes me so happy.
I prefer pecan pie. With Cool Whip on top. :)
Yes, we celebrate Pi Day...I am an 8th Grade Algebra teacher (part-time) for a Scholars Program, and tomorrow we shall celebrate (since we only meet on Saturdays).
My favorite thing that we do is have a contest to see which student can remember the most Pi...it's a hoot!
Susan, I'm glad. And you are on the road, hopefully driving safely.
Tara, I actually only recently started liking pie - I make a mean lemon meringue pie.
Tera, jeez, you are a geek. :-)
WNG, I am jealous. Though I must say I can't wear too too many of 9west shoes since the heels are so high and I'd die, but I do love them. But wow also, 2 days in the store! Whew!
Sadly, nor, someone forgot to mark something on her calendar so the trip is delayed until next weekend.
I celebrated pi day last year on my blog...
This year I will just have a private ceremony for that magical number.
there is an entire day reserved for celebrating a number?
yeah, that's geeky alright. ;-)
