Saturday 03-14-15 (why does that sound so familiar?) is a very rare and special Pi Day, b/c the date spells out the first 5 digits of Pi.
This won't happen again until 2115.
Celebrate with your fav flavor of pi.
In observance of this special occasion, here is a pi joke;
Father (to his son home from school): What'd ye larn t'day, sonny?
Son: Pi r square!
Father: Fool kid. Pi are not square, pi are round.

Well, over here in the non-US of A, we use a different date notation (14-03-2015, 2015-03-14 or 14.3.2015), that doesn't even come close to Pi, so I guess we'll have to pull the pass-card for the festivities

5 digits? You mean 10 digits!

Not only is that a good catch Deo, but it's just epic that the digits of clock times actually work!!

Heh for the second half of the thread tomorrow, everyone post their Pie stories!
You can even do it twice because "almost 9:30" is sane hours for almost everyone both AM and PM!

We in India, where date is written as dd/mm/yy, could have had our PI day next month, if April had 31 days.

31/4/15 9:26:53

Keeping the time before also requires us to wait till 2065 at least.

3:14:15 9/2/65

No PI for us, now

Pi is an irrational number and can only be represented in decimal notation as an approximation.

In the case of Pi, rounding (3.1416) provides a better decimal approximation than truncation (3.1415).

I conclude therefore that next year's Pi day (3/14/16) will be a closer fit than this year's Pi day.

Missed my pie, in the middle of moving.

But it won't be too long until e day... 2/7/18 2:08:18!

Hmm, tossing the 0 placeholder in kinda defeats the purpose...
