Pi Day is an annual celebration of the mathematical constant π (pi). Pi Day is observed on March 14 (the 3rd month) since 3, 1, and 4 are the first three significant figures of π, and was first celebrated in the United States.
In 1988, the earliest known official or large-scale celebration of Pi Day was organized by Larry Shaw at the San Francisco Exploratorium, where Shaw worked as a physicist, with staff and public marching around one of its circular spaces, then consuming fruit pies.
The Exploratorium continues to hold Pi Day celebrations.
On March 12 2009, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a non-binding resolution (111 H. Res. 224), recognizing March 14, 2009, as National Pi Day.

Damit wäre man mit der Genauigkeit von Pi auf die Zeit VOR Archimedes (3. Jh. v. Chr) zurückgefallen, der erstmals Pi mit grösser als 3 10/71 und kleiner als 3 1/7 anhand eines 96-seitigen Polygons errechnet hat.

Tja, die Amis waren schon immer etwas rückständig, was sich aktuell auch immer mehr bestätigt! ;-)
