American media was having fun with the fact that March 14 was "Pi Day" in America, where they write the date "3/14", which is similar, kinda, to 3.14 and that's pi to two decimal places.
First of all, BFD—you know what I'm sayin'?
Second, that just doesn't work in New Zealand or much of the world where dates are expressed the other way around—day then month. So, we'll never have a "Pi Day" here because that would be the third day of the fourteenth month.
Today is, however, the Ides of March. Perhaps today we should beware of Americans bearing pi. Unless it's pumpkin. I haven't had pumpkin pie in a dozen years. Oh wait, that's different. Hm, maybe it's obvious why I didn't do well in math class...

Hahaha....funny. It is funny how the American media picked up on Pi and the date. There are so many other things they could be worrying about.
Well, Archerr, I'd say that the fact that there are so many other things they could (and should) be worrying about is WHY they focused on Pi and the date.
