3.14159265. Next opportunity for another wild celebration of this milestone will be when [if] the population hits 3,141,592,653. That memorable previous taste of Population Pi took place sometime around the end of the Civil War.

And let's thank the those wacky inventors of Pi Day, the first of which undoubtedly was celebrated..when? Right. March 14 1592.
