I know but I mean the rare pi day in 2015. It is special in the USA layout. So the honors for other layouts are some other time.
The 10th of November, 2015 will be 314 15 if you measure by the day of the year (1 through 365).
Any excuse for a party.

The Venerable Washington Post takes note of Pi Day:

I'm jealous of people in New Zealand. They're already celebrating Pi Day, while it's still boring old March 13 here in California. I guess I'm just unlucky due to it being Friday the 13th.
So Saturday is:
3 14 05
and at 9:26am and 53 seconds more of the number is revealed.
3.140592653
I'm not a math geek, but this is fascinating to me.

Not really, I looked it up when I read someone say this year's was significant and I wanted to know why.
Your suspicions may be well founded, but no full disclosure from me. I was taught to not to eat pie and tell

As is the number lol

Sadly, Pi Day is about to end here on the west coast.
Here's a wonderful contribution by Mark Siddall of the American Museum of Natural History, which was posted on Facebook by the Center Theatre Group.
I think Dr. Siddall wins Pi Day this year.

Happy π(rates of Penzance) Day!
I am the very model of a non-repeating decimal,
I've information volumetric, tubular, and spherical,
I know the ancient Greeks and I know others quite historical
From Ptolomy to Fibonacc, in order categorical
I'm very well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical,
I understand equations, both the simple and irrational,
About Pythagorean theorem I'm teeming with a lot o' sense,
With many cheerful facts about the half of a circumference.
I'm very good at integral and differential calculus;
You can do most anything with me and just a radius
In short, from matters circular to Riemann zeta functional
I am the very model of a non-repeating decimal,
I have a mythic history, Archmedes and some Indians;
I answer hard equations, I've a pretty taste for radians,
I quote in elegiacs all my digits oh so numerous,
In conics I can floor peculiarities voluminous;
I can tell undoubted ovals both from ampersands and hippopedes,
I know the spindle torus and the sis-Cissoid of Diocles!
Then I can find the surface area of a saddle or a hull facet,
And recite all the nums from my infernal series infinite.
Then I can calculate the shape of any cruve thats cruxiform,
And tell you ev'ry detail of Catenaries uniform:
In short, from matters circular to Riemann zeta functional

That is brilliant! Thanks for posting it and thoroughly enjoyed it. Must say that I thoroughly enjoyed the pies that were offered as part of 'pi' day, too.
Sure there is. Just look at your wall calendar and you'll see that today's date is 13 B'ak'tun 0 K'atun 2 Tun 4 Winal 14 K'in. (Unless you're one of the small group of people who use the Gregorian calendar.)
