Did you know that March 14th is "Pi Day"

Think about it ...

• March the 14th is the 3rd month and 14th day (3.14)
• Pi is that mythical number associated with circles 3.14159265 ... (typically referred to simply as 3.14).

March 14th also just happens to be Einstein's birthday (coincidence ... I think not!).
Apparently the big celebration is officially at 1:59 in the afternoon. Shouldn't it be 1:59 in the morning on March 14th? That might be better, then the party could start on the 13th!

Why is this interesting to the average web marketer? Well - take a look at Google's heat meter on the hot-ness of queries for "Pi Facts". It's on fire!
(That's as of about 1opm mountain time on March 12th, 2009. There are still 2 days to go.)

And, that's not the only "pi" term that is burning up the Google rankings:

• "Pi Facts" are currently#7
• "Pi Jokes" are #13
• "Pi Digits" are #15
  
• "Pi Poems" are #16
• "History of Pi" is #19
• ... and so on!

Google "Pi Facts", and the rest of those terms. You'll find that virtually no one is bidding on those terms. I'd buy them up over the next 2 days if I sold:

• PCs
• Pies
• Educational Supplies (like those giant wooden compasses they used when I was in Grade 6 ... do they still use those?)
  
• Party Supplies
• ... I'm sure there are more great ideas!

Sticking with the concept, I wonder what other "trivial" days there are out there that would be a fun opportunity to win with relevant and cheap search engine marketing?
