If you are a fan of the number pi, you'll love this: The U.S. Census Bureau announced that the American population reached 314,159,265 Tuesday.
That's exciting for math geeks because pi is 3.14159265... But it doesn't stop there. The digits continue in an apparently random fashion infinitely.
...
Now the U.S. population can be added to the list of pi-related oddities - at least briefly. The government's current population counter was already well past pi-hundred million as of this writing.
"This is a once in many generations event...so go out and celebrate this American pi," Census Bureau Chief Demographer Howard Hogan said in a statement.

I personally don't think this is something to celebrate.
