As Deadly as Pi

When Pi, the life-threatening Covid-19 variant of concern that came after the variant Omicron, was marginalized by WHO, as it fears that the politically incorrect or mathematically blasphemous label might unprovenly trigger a global outcry or protest among millions of math educators for whatever unspoken or irrational reasons.
From 2020–2023, many different types of Covid-19 variants were floating freely on the planet, but none was as deadly as Pi.

Shelf Interest

When the types of books on someone’s bookshelves arguably gives a good insight of their personality, character, or (hidden) identity.
Jack’s shelf interest focuses on true crime books. What are the odds that he’d be a potential serial killer waiting to strike?

Creepily Pi-ed

When a math-anxious or mathophobic person’s stress level skyrockets at the sight or sound of the number π, or on spotting expressions or formulas that contain the irrational number—common symptoms are faster heartbeat, sweaty palms, temporary mental blackouts, and in some cases a seconds-long stroke.
Don, who’s creepily pi-ed after watching a science fiction horror movie, was given three days leave by his family psychiatrist to recover from his post-pi traumatic experience.

Pi Revolution

Where math educators, publishers, and bookstores worldwide join forces on Pi Day to promote the beauty, ubiquity, and utility of the number π to millions of students, teachers, and parents.

Pi Colonialism

When math historians from the US and the West never fail to emphasize the contributions of white mathematicians on the development of the number π, with quasi-zero mention of inputs from their nonwhite counterparts.
With a large proportion of journal articles being published by co-authors from different nationalities or races, to what extent is pi colonialism still being practiced in academic publishing today?

Meter

The distance light travels in 1/x of a second, where x is 299,792,458—the length is measured in terms of the speed of light (x m/s), which never changes.
Since one meter was defined to be 1/10,000,000 (or one over 10 million) the distance from the North Pole to the Equator in 1793, the meter had since undergone a few definitional changes before its present official definition was agreed in 1983.

Xmas Pi

When the number π has unprovenly been using dreams for centuries to hint at number theorists and numerologists that besides some Old Testament books in the Bible, the birth of Christ is also revealed via its digits, if only they know how or where to look for them—had they sought the Holy Spirit, the Third Person in the Trinity, for direction, they would have received the revelation instead of struggling with their own intellect.
Divining the virgin birth of the Messiah via Xmas pi would have been a digital coup for the mathematical brethren, who could have been flirting with mathematical immortality thanks to their discovery.
