Not only southern. It is used at least in parts of Lower Saxony as well.
I forgot to mention it in my previous posting...

It's Pi Day again. Pi Minute/Pi Second are in about half an hour for people in CDT.

I'm still waiting for "e Day"...

Wouldn't it be 1/10th closer in the article? Heh.

I wonder what I'll be doing on the 14th of March in 2015.

Oh no it isn't!

Only in the US, where the bizarre middle-endian representation of dates is used, was it Pi Day yesterday.

e-Day is still four months away.

Although we outside the USA keep scratching our heads
about what happened on 9th Nov 2001, I think the International
Standard idea of year-month-day etc has some merit wrt a simple
date-sorting program.

On the subject of "predictive" sorting, I have found that
film clips numbered "1" and "11" get miraculously rearranged
these days. Perhaps two wrongs do make a right?

Hehe, I almost forgot about Pi Day this year. :-P I had some cherry pie last night, though. :-D

Further, Pi day is 22/7, or 22nd of July.
