Happy Pi Day

3/14:
Pi Day is a holiday commemorating the mathematical constant π (pi). Pi Day is celebrated on March 14 (or 3/14 in month/day date format), since 3, 1 and 4 are the three most significant digits of π in the decimal form. In 2009, the United States House of Representatives supported the designation of Pi Day.
Pi Approximation Day is held on July 22 (or 22/7 in day/month date format), since the fraction 227 is a common approximation of π.
While I am a geek, I don't celebrate Pi Day.  However, look at the post time.  3-14 1:59, anyone?
