Being an engineer, which one never really retires from, I'm required to be pedantic enough to point out there can only be a pi day in countries that use month/day format rather than day/month. According to the Wikipedia, it's not strictly an American thing. It's the US, Philippines, Federated States of Micronesia and Marshall Islands. The last two were US territories until the 1980s while the Philippines became independent from the US in 1946 after WWII.

My dad was an engineer, and he really did explain refraction when I asked why the sky is blue at about age 5.
