Just imagine the celebration 7 or 8 years from now!
3-14-15, 3-14-16
And the poor Europeans don't even have this excuse to party, ever.

Happy birthday Pi! The world wouldn't have been the same without you, although your irrational personality irked the Indiana State legislature.

In 1897, the Indiana legislature attempted to pass a bill to "square the circle", and so indirectly define the value of pi. The bill failed, due to the intervention of a professor from Purdue. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indiana_Pi_Bill
A spoof in 1998 had it that the Alabama legislature was actually going to do this.
The U.S. congressional record apparently includes a fair number of perpetual motion machines.
