Quote from that website:

Quote:This year Pi Day is significant because the date, (3-14-15) hour, (9 hr) minute (26 min) and second (5 sec) will reflect the first 9 digits of Pi (3.14159265)!

Only nine digits? Why is it 5 seconds instead of 53 or 54? This would reflect the first 10 digits of Pi. Or many more: just think of 9:26 and 53,589793... seconds. ;-)
