Hey! I received my one tiny thing a couple days ago... but craftster was down and I couldn't post until today.

Here's the pi box I got from Bigmouth.

Here's the top (sorry kind of blurry):



Apple pi. Hehehe.

Here's the bottom of the lid and the bottom of the container thingy:



And here's the inside. It has cool stickers everywhere. The bottom is all bumpy.



Sorry rackycoo, I didn't get a picture of the box, but you could probably fit a small dog in there along with the 50 or so plastic bags.

Another really cool thing is that I received it on March 14, pi day. How cool is that??

Thank you so much Bigmouth!!

Okay, I'll be the first to ask (but then maybe I'm the only one who doesn't know) - what's a pi box?

flyleaf_lvr said that she's interested in pi.  I know this is true, because the note she sent along with my tiny thing had pi written to thirty digits on the back.  It also said, "Ignore this....."--but I knew I was on the right track.
The box has pi, and circular things, all over it.  The piece of pie inside the top has tiny pi symbols as filling.  And a band around the outside has the first 10,000 digits of pi in tiny, tiny numbers.  Yep, I calculated them myself (haha, NO--I actually found that crazy number on a website called The Joy of Pi).  Hope it makes more sense now.

And if anyone didn't get the "March 14, pi day" reference, I'll help you along: 
March 14 = 3/14
Pi = 3.14..........

She's eleven years old, folks.  What do you think of that?

Very clever, Bigmouth, and I can't remember ever being interested in pi, especially when I was 11! I hate I didn't get to see a picture of the box, but as long as I know it was big enough for a small dog AND 50 or so plastic bags, I am satisfied.

Thanks for sharing, flyleaf_lvr!

Thanks Bigmouth (oh, that's almost sounds like I'm being rude)!  I now understand what the pi box is but now I'm wondering why anyone, especially an 11 year old, is interested in pi

I wondered at first, too.  And then I started finding such interesting things...
A whole bunch of general information:

A pi craft (didn't consider doing it, because she's probably done it herself ):
http://mathforum.org/teachers/middle/activities/pi_day.html

And something I kept thinking about using, but I had to make a decision--and this wouldn't fit with a round box:

(I hope flyleaf_lvr knits coordinating pi and 22/7 afghans! )

I'm not just all talk, check my tattoo..




I love the pi box, Bigmouth.  Math-related crafts are always cool.

Haha!  Here's what I imagine:  You measure the circumference of your biceps, and use the measurement to determine the diameter of your upper arm.  Am I too far off?
