Of course, this makes Pi Day an almost exclusively American holiday, since the rest of the world put the day BEFORE the month when writing dates. (That was why I could celebrate 11/12/13 TWICE). As for next year's Super Pi Day, since 3.14159 actually rounds up to 3.1416, wouldn't that be the year after next? Aw, heck, let's do it twice.

waitaminnit. Does that mean that Pi Day next year will be kind of a Super Jubilee Pi Day, since we'll gain two more digits? (3.14.15)
