Mmm... Pi
Some people are such nerds. Today 3-14 is national Pi day. Today 3.14 is when all the aoclytes of the church of pi, as they call themselves, get together in one giant nerd fest and talk about the number pi. Well, really it is a string of numbers that is over a trillion numbers long. They eat pi related foods and have pi reciting contests. What is it about some people. They concentrate on such trivial things. There has even been a movie written about it. I just don't get some obsessions. I mean these people are crazy. They justify it by asking why do people climb Mount Everest, because it's there. Give me a freaking break. Studying a number is not the same accomplishment as climbing the biggest mountain in the world. That's insane. One 60 year old Japanese mental health counselor, anyone see the irony, said that he is very interested in the story of pi. WHAT STORY?!!! It's a number that goes on forever and has no discernible pattern. What a waste of time. In fact it's such a waste of time that I'm going to stop talking about it right now ms to not add to the cause.

have you ever seen the movie pi? it's frickin weird.
Of course it has no point, that's what draws people to it in the first place! It is the ultimate mathmatical mystery, and everyone loves a good mystery.
Phil I can't believe that you're being so messed up about pi. My Uncle Jerry invented pi, and I would appreciate a little more respect.
tell him it was delicious.
I remember my math teacher in high school running around with Pi t-shirts on. lol
