Pi in the Sky

When the value of the mathematical pi is exactly three, which can be inferred from two verses in the Bible (1 Kings 7:23 and 2 Chronicles 4:2)—the “biblical pi” contradicts the mathematicians’ value, which is about 3.14 or 22/7.

How does one reconcile the value of pi in the sky with the irrational value of pi on earth? Could theologians or theomaticians explain the missing “0.14” bit to the mathematical brethren?

Pi

1. A really awesome black and white movie made in 1998. Directed by Darren Aronofsky, director of Requiem for a Dream (which I didn't know till I looked it up just now). It's about a crazy math guy that is trying to predict the stock market, when his machine dies and spits out a number (which isn't pi). He believes the number is the key to understanding the universe and God. I don't want to give away what happens after that though.

2. Approximately 3.14. Used in math and such.

1.
Guy- "Have you seen Pi?"
LameGuy- "lol wats it bout? circles n such?!1 XD"
Guy- "It has angry Jewish people..."
Lameguy- "Awesome!"

2.
I read pi pages of the Iliad, then couldn't take the intense bordom anymore.

Cao Pi

Cao Pi (oddly enough, pronounced 'cow pee') was the first emperor of the Wei kingdom (located in northern china. Capital at Xu Chang. Western Wei contained Chang An, currently known as Xi'an) in the three kingdoms period of china. He was the son of Cao Cao (slayer of Lu Bu and many others) and husband to many wives, the most notable being Empress Zhen, who he later forced to commit suicide.

Cao Pi died soon after gaining the throne, though, and passed his rank to son Cao Rui, who did a pissant job for the most part.

Cao Pi is remembered throughout China as a tyrant and cold-hearted man. He was written in the book 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms' to have commited atrocious acts, but due to the bias in this book nobody can be sure.

Relatives: Cao Zhen, Cao Zhi, Cao Xiong, Cao Ren, Cao Cao, Cao Rui, Cao Xiu (notable)

Cao Pi, in a plot with another woman, forced Empress Zhen to commit suicide.

Cao Pi is commonly concieved by scholars to have been wronged by Lo Kuan Chung's writings.

Pi

WHO's yet-to-be-approved 16th letter of the Greek alphabet as a politically correct label for the politically charged “Trumpvirus”—named after Trum-pi-sm—to avoid stigmatizing any right-wing inept head of state who failed to prevent millions of infections and thousands of deaths.

Diehard Trumpists and hardcore QAnonists have complained to the World Health Organization that Democrat lawmakers’ and US-unfriendly nations’ use of “Trumpvirus” is discriminatory or demeaning, so they suggested rechristening it to “Pi,” and proposed “Tau” for its twice deadly variant (B.6.28).

What’s the pH of Pi?

An unsolved pseudo-pi problem that has plagued autistic geeks or idiot savants, whose oft-contradictory answers or half-baked explanations have separated rather than brought them together—is the number π acidic, alkaline, or neutral?

Unlike synesthesia questions like “What’s the shape of pi?” and “What’s the color of zero?,” whose answers exhibit some common denominator among geeky dyslexics, the answer to “What’s the pH of pi?” remains so far elusive.
