You may be asking yourself, "How nerdy are the people that Dennis works with?" I can assure you, with no small level of conviction, that the answer is, "plenty".
As you no doubt do not know, today is Pi day, an unofficial holiday to celebrate the mathematical constant pi. If pi is truncated to seven decimal places it becomes 3.1415926, making March 14 at 1:59:26 pm the designated time of pi.
Indeed, at that precise moment, the Engineering staff will meet in the kitchen to consume pie of various kinds. We owe Larry Shaw a debt of gratitude.

Hmmm..... I realize how much of a nerd I am in that I can't resist pointing out that I think Larry mighta got it wrong.
It should be celebrated at 1:59 am..... a stretch might make it 3:09 pm.... but only for convenience.
We could make it 1:59 am in Italy... home of Archimedes... if my research is accurate. That would mean our pi celebration would happen right around 8pm locally (7:59:26 to be [well... almost] exact) .... right after supper when we usually eat our pie anyhow. Perfect! of course the purists would celebrate this on March 13th
