One of the News Stations had an item about this a few years back.
It is amazing how many things one can find to celebrate.
Certainly helps in these somewhat depressing times.

Pi Day is observed on March 14 (3/14 in ISO date format), due to pi being roughly equal to 3.14. Just over a week away. I wonder if the proponents of pi day will celebrate heartily at 9:26 on 3/14/15?

What a wonderful idea for a celebration! I'll bring apple and pumpkin.

Oh Jackie, we had square root day every once a week right after the war. Turnips; whose only tasteless quality was in the perfect cubes my mother cut out of them.
