Apparently, the poem about the Pied Piper of Hamelin was said that the piper led out the rats on this day in 1376.
So it's Ratcatcher's Day (the Brothers Grimm said it should have been June 26, 1284, who do you believe?)
To catch a rat you need good bait, and what better than pie? Well, for a mathematician, the best pie is pi.
Today is pi approximation day. July 22... 22 / 7 ... and if you divide 22 by 7, you can get an approximation of pi.
