Pi-Pod

A state of the art, compact, portable electronic device with an LCD display, capable of carrying out complex mathematical calculations.

A calculator.

What's the area of a circle with a 5cm radius? Dammit, why didn't I upload the pi-calculator app to my ipod 5 GTi?

Don't worry, we can check the answer on my Pi-Pod.

Pi Cemetery

When mathematical conjectures or hypotheses on the number π have finally been proved to be false—any hunches or doubts about them have now been put to rest.

In the last half-century, the piece of land initially allocated for pi cemetery has been enlarged a few times to welcome new dead members on its premises.

Pink Pi

Mathematicians’ hypotheses or theorems on the number π that grace the pages of gay math journals, which are clandestinely or covertly circulated to protect the authors from getting fired, especially if they work for a conservative college or faculty that doesn’t condone unnatural relationships.

Due to recurring prejudices against them, a number of first-rate minds decide not to submit their pink pi results to oft-anti-LGBT+ reputable math journals, thus reducing their chances of securing tenure—they think that the criteria for career promotion shouldn’t be influenced by sexual orientation.

Pi Futurist

A math professor who advises both undergraduate and postgraduate students which area of research on the number π they should embark on in order to increase their chances of getting published in reputable math publications, with minimum frustration and pain.

Dictator Kim is asking comrade Trump whether he’d recommend any ex-lecturer from his now-defunct Trump University, who might be keen to work as a pi futurist for the Pyongyang University of Science and Technology on a three-year contract, with high prospects of securing tenure if local researchers’ submissions grace the pages of math periodicals and journals.

Murder by Pi

When a gifted child’s Xmas wish for Santa Claus is to be rewarded with the last digit of the number π, which prompted the Donor-in-Chief to commit a “mathematical crime,” because he couldn’t fulfill the child’s “Christmaths” wish.

A few billion children worldwide would miss their Christmas gift this year, because Father Christmas had been charged for murder by pi—he’d first be spending the twelve days of Christmas behind bars before being flown to a North Korean or Siberian prison.

Wi-Pi

Electromagnetic waves or microwaves that emit signals that are linked to the digits of the decimal number π for nonobvious or mysterious reasons—for instance, is the covert activity used to spy on rogue states, to communicate with extraterrestrials, or to jam enemies’ signals?

It’s not known what the side effects of wi-pi are when it’s sent out in high doses in public squares.

Pi Brexit

When math teachers in a school or state can’t see eye to eye on the degree of accuracy the number π should be given in a math question—for example, should the students be asked to take π to be 22/7 or 3.14?

In the aftermath of the “Pi Brexit” war, a red state in the US has recorded at least a dozen resignations from hardcore evangelical math teachers, who refuse to bulge unless the schools agree to use the biblical value of three for π.
