Disneyland, March 14, a few years ago. It was a dream come true. I had already met Captain America, and now I was about to meet my first mythical Norse god. I don't recall if it was Thursday, the day named after him, but it isn't every day or vacation that you get to meet two greats who are worthy to wield Mjolnir! We lined up in the antechamber, which included several important artifacts, such as Loki's pointy hat. Then the door opened, and there he was in all his Thormidable greatness.
For a powerful Norse deity, Thor was quite friendly. It was Pi Day, and he observed I was wearing a π t-shirt. He reminisced fondly about how they had π back on Asgard, but it was different. It was served on a plate. It was delicious.
I will always remember that day. The day I met a great fictional Norse god on π Day. It made me proud to be Norse myself.

Another π Day, a couple years earlier. I was studying design, and I had recently learned the wonders of Adobe Illustrator. At the time, Gangnam Style was all the rage. It was all over YouTube, TV, memes, social media, everywhere. It was hard to miss. I also observed that Psy, the artist who brought it to the world, sounds similar to π. The following illustration was the result of this observation. Oppan πnam Style!
I know, it's random, but there you have it.
Happy π Day!
(By the way, if you are on a PC, you can type π by holding down Alt and typing 227 on the keypad on the side of the keyboard.)
