Well.....  Congress can't get off its duff to do much these days (many consider 
this a good thing) but
in 2009, 3-14 was officially designated as NATIONAL PI Day.  Whether the rest 
of the world really goes along, I don't know.
Last year was Super Pi Day 3-14-15 and MIT sent out its acceptance e-mails at 
9:26 (to further the string of Pi digits).
There are some heated arguments whether Tau (2Pi) should be held in much higher 
regard than Pi as it simplifies many math and physics expressions.  They 
consider today 
Half Tau Day.  

More of a Pi guy, Mike
