It's Pi Day, a celebration of the mathematical ratio that man has been trying to unlock for millennia.
Pi Day is observed on March 14 (3/14 in American date format), due to π being equal to roughly 3.14. Sometimes it is celebrated on March 14 at 1:59 p.m. (commonly known as Pi Minute). If π is truncated to seven decimal places, it becomes 3.1415926, making March 14 at 1:59:26 p.m..
March 14 also happens to be Albert Einstein's birthday.
So, what are you doing to celebrate?
