Happy Pi Day and St. Patrick’s Day
It’s Pi Day! 3-14 as people in the United States write it, which looks very similar to the first three digits of the mathematical constant “pi”. That means that I either have to make a pi joke or at least throw a pie somewhere in the comic. Also, Saint Patrick’s Day is in a few days, which in the United States simply means green beer for no particular reason. Simple rule for United States holidays: if it’s a holiday that really only applies to another country, it’s a drinking day over here. Just look at Cinco De Mayo. That holiday only applies to one TOWN.
Oh yeah, and TV show hosts don’t know how to direct people to websites. As for the MySpace address, there’s a local business that kept using MySpace for their main website long after MySpace was popular. Now they use Facebook and their own custom website, but they kept pointing people to MySpace for way too long.
