Either you celebrate Pi Day or support ISO 8601 - you can't have it both ways !

You can have neither though. For much of the world, it's 14/3/2013 today.
Then Pi approximation day: 22/7
22/7 is actually closer to pi than 3.14.
113/355 is several orders of magnitude closer. To bad we don't have 355 months in the year.
I made a silly mistake, it's (obviously) 355/113.
I would support ISO 8601, but I'm not waiting for the year 3141!
And you certainly don't want to wait for the 59th month of that year.
Today is 2013-03-14 which is good enough for me :P
ISO 8601 all the way! I'd love to have a Pi day but it just isn't possible.
Then go for Pi approximation day: 22/7 = July 22.
except it will be 2013-07-22
Right, I was thinking prof_hobart's comment above.
