I just remembered that here are two other momentous alignments on Sunday:
1. In the US it is pi day (3.14). This is not the case in the rest of the world, where a different date convention (14.3) is used. This convention may be arguably more logical, but does not lend itself as well to inventing a punning name for the day, or to celebrating it by eating pie.
2. It is the birthday of Albert Einstein, who is probably responsible for the mysterious relativistic expansion of the value of pi which Frank has announced.
Cheers,
Rafael
