Pi-day Friday

[syntonic_comma]

dglennPi Approximation Days:

• March 14, 1:59 p.m.: 3.14159
  
• July 22: 22/7
• November 10: The 314th day of the year (Nov 9 in leap years)
• December 21, 1:13 p.m.: The 355th day of the year (Dec 20 in leap years), celebrated at 1:13 for the Chinese approximation 355/113

So why not Jan 3 at 14:15? Or 3:55 (or the 355th minute of the day, 05:55) on the 113th day (April 23 (22 leap))? Should we be counting days from the Chinese New Year for the Chinese approximation?

π Haiku (as opposed to π-ku, either with 3 + 1 + 4 syllables or with world lengths matching the digits of π)
I can remember
3 point 1 4 1 5 9
2 6 - close enough.

The diameter
times irrational π gives
the circumference.

π - irrational;
yet it is a ratio.
Transcendental too!

Cadaeic Cadenza is a 1996 short story by Mike Keith. It is an example of constrained writing, a book with restrictions on how it can be written. It is also one of the most prodigious examples of piphilology. .... When the number of letters in each word are written out, they form the first 3834 digits of pi.
