So by now you've done all your planning, right? Placed all the orders, sent off the invitations, decorated the house, maybe even decorated a space at your workplace. The more devout among you have even managed to get the day off work, for religious reasons. The just plain weirdly fanatical among you will be setting off to the local park, beach, mountaintop, or desert to do those (possibly) naked rituals involving various baked goods. Several TV channels may well have specials, hosted by world reknown, er.... celebrities, like Keith Devlin, Simon Singh, and, yes - Carol Vorderman.

Others will host retrospectives of all of the fun things people did in the past in celebration of the Big Day. What am I talking about? Why, tomorrow is Pi Day, of course*! (Ok, I made up most of the above....but wouldn't it be nice?) (Btw, you have to arrange the date in the way they do it here in the USA, to see it: 3.14) And don't forget, at 1.59, you should be doing things like walking around in circles, eating pie, and behaving irrationally. Ok? (Should that be am or pm... am makes more sense to me, but I guess it won't be as popular a time.....) Have a look at what the folks at San Francisco's Exploratorium are doing tomorrow.
