Why so pi?Follow
Why is EVERYONE obsessed with pi? Is it because it's this "nerdy" concept that everyone gets to some extent, and if you demonstrate some kind of knowledge about it like how 22/7 is a really bad approximation or can recite it past 3.14, suddenly you're some kind of super nerd? I don't get it. Big goddamn deal.

e is the cooler number anyway.

0 is the loneliest number, it can't even divide itself to have someone to talk to.

Token nerd/geeks; it's popular. It's something I've noticed in high school and have been trying to properly categorize since then.

Pi is like the "Call of Duty"/"Madden" of science. If you play video games, especially WoW, Final Fantasy, Mario, etc, then you're a nerd/geek, unless it's Call of Duty or Madden, because they're cool.
Pi allows people who don't know anything about math or science something that they can relate to. As mentioned, I'm sure most people can't repeat the constant of "e" and it's much easier to remember than Pi.

Except I'd actually group WoW in with Call of Duty and Madden.
No no, WoW players are just cool compared to FFXI players.

I'm going to lodging a formal complaint with DF. Kaolian, that is clearly over the line and beyond offensive.
