Pi in Pi day (3/14) - how to remember?

We have in Mathcad two Math constants - e and pi

No problem to remember e - 2.7 + two time Leo Tolstoy 2.718281828 (Tolstoy was born in 1828)

No problem to remember pi - 3.14 + ????

I know only one ????

Do you know this one or some others!

a follow up to the last

How I want a drink, alcoholic of course, after the heavy lectures involving quantum mechanics. All of thy geometry, Herr Planck, is fairly hard... (3.14159265358979323846264...)

And if memorizing pi isn't your thing, it's OK to say

I can't.I hadn't memorized pi digits since the work's terribly difficult.(3.)141592653589

A Greek one: Ἀεὶ ὁ θεὸς ὁ μέγας γεωμετρεῖ τό σύμπαν. Meaning something like "God applies geometry to all" (Googel translate fails here)

So many sites about pi - we can't and shouldn't duplicate all ;-).
