Yes, correct.
14th March is known as Pi Day, celebrated every year (by people so inclined). But that day this year
is "special", as the Wikipedia entry for "Pi Day" notes:

"In the year 2015, Pi Day will have special significance on 3/14/15 at 9:26:53 a.m. and p.m., with the date and time representing the first 10 digits of π. That same second will also contain a precise instant corresponding to all of the digits of π. However, some argue that 9:26:54 a.m. and p.m. on 3/14/15 are more accurate because of the 11th digit of π being 5, which would cause the 10th digit to round up to 4."

The French math students used to learn a poem where the number of letters in each word gives you the decimals of Pi. It goes like this:

Que j'aime à faire connaître ce nombre utile aux sages,
.3  1   4  1   5       9      2    6     5    3    5
Immortel Archimède, artiste ingénieur,
   8         9         7        9
[... 20 more verses to follow...]
