You might think March 14 is just another day - but to math nerds, it's got major significance. Taken numerically, the date (3/14) represents the first few digits of pi, the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of a circle. To celebrate Pi Day, several area eateries known for their circular food are offering some pretty sweet specials. Look who's a nerd now, huh?
