I don't know where they get these things but I understand that today is "National Pie Day." What kind of pie is everyone having today? I am making a pizza pie right now.

National Pie Day is a celebration of pies that occurs annually in the United States on January 23. It started in the mid-1970s by Boulder, Colorado nuclear engineer, brewer and teacher Charlie Papazian after he declared his own birthday, January 23, to be National Pie Day.

March 14 is National Pi Day, not Pie Day. I wonder if there might be a Py Day. Or a Pigh Day.

Since we're taliking about celebrating irrational numbers, how about a National Alephnull Day (alephnull is the square root of -1)?

This goes beyond my understanding of mathematics, but I suspect you may be confusing irrational numbers with imaginary numbers. Yes?
