I don't like Pi, but I would love some Pie[^] and see if its circumference and diameter have a relation between each other.

Aah! Thanks for pointing that out. I would have missed it, if you didn't point it out. And it is accurate to 5 decimals, if you omit the "20" of 2015!

... and a few more if you ignore that 9:26... is really 09:26...

14-3-15? 
Weird American, or is that a tautology?

Call it weird if you like, but in the USA today's date is written 3-14-15. Do you get it now?

3-14-16 is a closer approximation...
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

True! We must remember to do this all again in a year!

No, it isn't; it's 2015-03-14.

I suppose it is culture specific, meaning that except for US, there will be no Pi day...ever.

Every year has an 3-14 15 and an 6-28 3:18:53.

This is the best reason that I have seen for replacing pi with tau.
[Other than the very simple cases mentioned by the tau enthusiasts, replacing pi with tau would require adding factors to many equations.]

As a developer you should know that culture specific dates are a hassle
You either don't format your dates, in which case the customer is going to complain that his dates are formatted wrong, or you do, but you still do it wrong and now all your parse methods throw exceptions too

You either don't format your dates...or have only US clients who are used to it being 'wrong'.

You obviously missed the news that we're adding an extra day to April this year.

Pardon my ignorance, but is this Tau in any way related to the Tau Te Ching?
