That's not to say that we should change Keen day once someone celebrates something else on it, but it would make Keen day more unique and I'm sure Keen's IQ was already a reference for pi.

It would also not be the first game character to do this. Sonic day is practically June 23rd, the release day of Sonic 1 for the Genesis.
Sounds like a plan, though I also like how we can celebrate on the next day, March 15th, the day of his arch-nemesis, Mortimer McMire :mort
