We like to celebrate "days" around here. Recently, we've kept you abreast of such national observances as Pi Day, Eggs Benedict Day, and who could forget National Noodle Day? Well, today will go down in history as the day that you could start eating the McRib for free -- a.k.a., McDonald's hiring day. more ›

We're all about celebrating March 14th as Pi Day, and showing some love for our favorite irrational number. But, you say "pi" and we hear "pie." Not to be confused with National Pie Day, however, today does also happen to be a red letter number day for pi-with-an-e. We love pie; we talk about it a lot, and even have a few recipes up for grabs. It's not the right season for berry or peach pies, but it's always a good time for Coconut Cream, Banana Cream, Key Lime, or Apple pie. While you can get a slice of pie at Marie Callender's today (with purchase) we suggest the venerable Pie n' Burger in Pasadena for where to get your pie today. Then there's Apple Pan, House of Pies, and countless others. Who's got the best pie in Los Angeles? You tell us! more ›

Forever. more ›

(Math geeks everywhere are also scoffing at the Saganian/Aronofskian notion that the numbers in pi reveal some esoteric, kabbalistic secret, while those school children are all happy just to be measuring and then eating pies they brought in to class). more ›
