Pi has always been irrational.

Pie is wrong?
These people are nuts.

All these theoriticians should go golfing to set their differences aside. Iworked for Obama and Boehner at least.
(from comments) Tau makes much more sense than pi. Pi is the equivalent of defining 1kg as the mass of two litres of water or defining 1 joule as the energy expended imparting a force of one newton over two metres.
NERD!!!! There, now I feel less inadequate.

A snowy day, an eight-digit calculator, and a formula to approximate pi, 355/113, led me to a method of calculating long-string repeating-digit division problems. It also showed underlying patterns in the strings that could be used in code making.
Maybe, I should sit this argument out.

EVERYbody likes pi.

No pi r not square, pi r round, cornbread r square.

1 joule as the energy expended imparting a force of one newton over two metres
Assuming no energy is lost to heat nor is this a nuclear reaction, in which case... Hey come back here!!!

One fig newton, one pi, and beer = joules drunk.
The sugar is the activator.

Math is hard!

The irony is, π looks kind of like two τ's mashed together, so logically π should be twice τ, not the other way around.

It's a Pi in your face argument.
Posted by: Ralph | June 29, 2011 at 12:48 PM
Sorry, Mikey. Here, have some pi.
Posted by: NotSherly | June 29, 2011 at 12:54 PM
π should be twice τ
I like twice t. With lemon.

Don't feel bad NotSherly. I thought Mikey was a guy also. Sorry Mikey. Is it safe to assume that Layzeeboy, Ralph, padraig, Steve, funny man, and Martini Shark are guys?

I had a long argument with the guy at the roulette table as to what I consider to be an odd number - Steven Wright
