It’s PIEDAY!!

Pie!!!

A pie is a baked dish which is usually made of a pastry dough casing that contains a filling of various sweet or savoury ingredients.

The first known use of the word 'pie' appears in 1303 in the expense accounts of the Bolton Priory in Yorkshire. But the Oxford English Dictionary is uncertain to its origin and says 'no further related word is known outside English'.

Sometime before 2000 BC, a recipe for chicken pie was written on a tablet in Sumer.

In the United States of America, there is a popular saying that "there are few things as American as apple pie".[9] In the United States, pie and especially apple pie, became "bound up in American mythology" to the point that in 1902, The New York Times asserted that "Pie is the food of the heroic" and stated that "No pie-eating people can ever be permanently vanquished."

And then, there is Pi.

The number π (/paɪ/; spelled out as "pi") is a mathematical constant that is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, approximately equal to 3.14159.

Or, showing off:
