I really hope that you're being sarcastic.

March 14, 2015 is written 3/14/15 in the States.

I don't think you know this man at all.
He most certainly is not.

Well...that's nice, but you should know that we use UK English and numeric formatting in Rockbox. In which case we use YYYY-MM-DD, or possibly even DD-MM-YY is acceptable, but never, ever, MM-DD-YY (which is just plain wrong if you ask me).

Well, some Americans who know the first 4 digits of pi DO use Rockbox, and yes, the MM-DD-YY date scheme makes no sense to me either, but it can be interesting sometimes.  ;)

EDIT: the USA is the only country in the world that uses this system: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_format_by_country#Map
But still, it makes for some interesting dates.

The point is that pi is *not* defined as a sequence of digits. Attaching importance to coincidences like this just degrades the beauty of pi, for no gain.

Well, 03/14/15 in MM-DD-YY format DOES look like the first couple digits of pi to me (at least on Earth).  :P
