It's a special kind of person who cares enough about math to celebrate "pi day", but not enough to be disturbed by the approximation of 3.14.

Even NASA only uses 15 digits because anything beyond that is unnecessary even at Universal scales.

Also if you want to be really picky, you can celebrate at 1:59 and 29 seconds.

27 seconds! :)
I'd thought 26, but I wasn't rounding properly. I've heard it as "thirty-four seconds before two o'clock", to obscure what time it actually refers to.
