Pi stole the proper place of Tau. I don't celebrate until June 28th.

At least it gives math a little much needed public exposure, which can't be bad.

Seems funny how I can know exactly the length of a diameter of a circle, but can't for the circumference, and vice versa.

I plan a bathroom radio for the Pi Day.

That sounds irrational to me.

Pi gets pissd at SQRT(-1) and says, get real! SQRT(-1) shoots back, get rational!

There's an old, old Ziggy cartoon with him taking a number from a reel and the number is sqrt(-1) -- imaginary. I searched but could not find it. On the plus side, though Tom Wilson passed away in 2011, I see his son (Tom Jr.) is still producing the strip.

Funny how an imaginary number can be useful in electrical engineering at all. Hooda thunk?

Oh No, haven't you heard, math is now apparently racist. The times we be living in.

How is that?

Maths was never my strong point. How I wish I could calculate pi

Should not it be √-1 ?

…and as it is now, the left side does belong to the real number set.
