Happy Pi Day

...Unless you are a DD/MM/YY date format user, in which case today is 14/3, and you have your choice of celebrating Purim or one week until the vernal equinox (note: Purim has better pastries). However, for those of us on the MM/DD format, today is 3/14. Mark your calendar: in nine years, we get 3/14/15 9:27. Party down with all things circular. The DD/MM folks will have to wait for January 3, 2042, when the date will be 3/1/42. If we go to decimal time in the next 35 years, they can celebrate a year early on 3/1/41 at 5:93.
