Happy Pi Day!!!
Elegant is a word only the nerdiest would apply to pi. Most people find it baffling. But I think we can all agree that a Pi Day celebration is something even the most diligent defamers of Pi, wouldn’t neglect.

Well, one way is to read Snatch Me. Another is to click that Nara’s Worlds tab in the navigation bar above and visit the links for the Quarterz City, Quarterz Swamp, and Quarterz Wasteland.
