Real heads know 22 July is the more accurate Pi day.

22/7 = 3.1428
- What's the 22nd month of the year?
  
  Despite living in the US my whole life, I don't subscribe to the insane mm/dd/yy ordering, it's the most ass backwards shit. That's why I wrote 22 July. Not sure how you got 22nd month out of that when it's unambiguous.
- i was born on that day
- Better 3 ¹⁶/₁₁₃
also it's my birthday too, can I be included as well if it's not too much trouble
- Okay but we're tacking on cousin Becky's birthday because it was three weeks ago and that side of thr family is real poor.
  
  for sure no problem
- No need to be so rational also happy birthday
- Sure just post a link to your astrophysics accomplishments.
- Hey also share a birthday. Hope you managed to get cake instead of Pie. Lord knows I'm tired of it.
For everyone else its the 3rd of Tetradecember
Its also the birthday and death day of Akira Yoshizawa, the grandmaster of Origami who rose the craft to an art form.

Also if you manage to die on the day of your birth by natural causes at 94 I think you deserve extra credit.

The art is honored for his incredible work standardizing it, he really was a treasure
No it's not, 22/7 is more accurate than 3/14 for Pi. So 22th of July is best pi day.
If that is true, than Einstein is the reincarnation of Hawking
Sorry, I prefer tau day.
- The problem about τ is that while, sure, you often have 2π but more often than not you have just π which would be τ/2 and doubling is so much easier than halving that it makes up for it
  
  I didn't say tau over pi, I said tau day. It's my birthday. 😋
We had pizza, apple pie and cherry almond pie for Pi Day! And also rode bicycles and celebrated circles, arc, curves, and spirals!
