This only occurs once per century, that there are that many digits of pi in the date/time.

MIT made note of that fact, today; and they are sending out their acceptances for the class of 2019 at Pi Time.

The last time I hugged a mathemetician... well, let's just say that it ended with a couple of fire trucks flipped upside down in an embankment, four de-winkied bodies, a porche covered in battery acid and a little puppy pining over a lost hot dog.

The puppy will haunt my dreams.

How did a couple of fire trucks wind up upside down in an embankment?

I could say that it may have had something to do with a portable wormhole generator named Bertha that I keep on a chain around my neck, but it's classified, so I can't say that.
