All right, so we’re not sure “sassy” is really the word to use when it comes to unveiling your inner geek on Halloween, but throw in a little confidence and swagger or swing while you sport one of these costumes suggested by Mollie Bloudoff-Indelicato at Scientific American and perhaps you’ll be a first. PUMPKIN "PI": (above) It isn't March, but that doesn't mean you can't celebrate the wonders of pi. For an autumnal twist, wear an orange T-shirt emblazoned with the pi symbol. Top it off with a "pi crust" headband. If you can rattle off the first 300 digits of this mathematical mainstay, all the better. SCHRÖDINGER'S CAT: Dress to (conceivably) kill this Halloween. Recreate Erwin Schrödinger's infamous thought experiment with a simple box, some face paint and cardboard cutout cat ears. Carry a bottle of "poison" marked "XXX" to tie the look together. With this costume, you'll simultaneously be the life and death of the party. Full story at Scientific American.
