3.1415926... Take the first few digits, and it looks like March 14th. Some people go even further and say that you should celebrate at 1:59pm, but I don't know about that. a) It invites arguments over 12 versus 24-hour time format, or the unpleasant suggestion that one should celebrate at 1:59am. b) It's pi, dude. It describes the size of every circle ever, plus showing up in standard probability distributions and Buffon's needle problem - it's earned a whole day.

they opted for 1:159 pm in school today. they interrupted class and made an announcement that it was pi day at 1:59. i was lucky enough to be in a math class, so kids figured it out pretty quickly.
Oh... a belated happy birthday.
Carrie's sister Molly mentioned Pie Day when Alex Trebeck asked her if she and her friends had any usual customs9 She made an appearance and was a one day champion of Jeopardy). Of course Molly's version was about actually eating pie. Ah, from one who scored perfect on the SAT...
