Today is March 14. Do something circular.
Circular arguments are always appropriate, and today would be an especially propitious day on which to prefer A to B, B to C, and C to A.
Just imagine how round things must have been on March 14, 1592.

And before somebody defames Indiana again, it ain't true that we once had a law making pi equal to 3.0. We have done some other odd things, though.

There is nothing wrong with Condorcet paradoxes. They are not the same as circular reasoning.
There's nothing wrong with circular logic because circular logic has nothing wrong with it.
Did somebody say Pi?

Is there a day when off-topic nerdcore is more justified?
No circular logic is wrong. It must be called a fallacy for some reason and therefore there's something wrong with it.
Likewise this is a great website. The proof of that is it's great and it's a website.
In addition Shakespeare probably did not write Othello. The reason for this is that Othello is a play written by someone, but that someone probably wasn't Shakespeare.
Likewise John F. Kennedy was secretly a cross-dresser. This is because one of the Presidents had to be a crossdresser and JFK was the one.
Note: I'm not sure all these fit.
krrh, why did you do that to me? I have enough people to hate on this blog already...
I'm astonished you didn't invoke Caplan:
"Something must be done.
This is something; therefore,
This must be done."
I like a woman who appreciates Pi day.
