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.

Orgasmic Pi

The aha! feeling math geeks experience at the sight or sound of a little juicy or sexy theorem, or math factoid, on the number π—a minor form of mathematical bliss that could last for days in some instances.

Just as Roland Barthes, French writer and critic, associates a good or pleasurable read with a dizzying orgasm, pure mathematicians or number theorists secretly dream or long for an orgasmic pi chance encounter, especially when they’re at their most vulnerable state of mind.

Bloody Pi

When a postmodern artist uses their own blood or the blood of animals as paint to draw the irrational number π, or to take part in a pi project as part of a math-and-art exhibition.

An artist from the Philippines told the journalist who interviewed him that his bloody pi paintings, which symbolizes his DNA in art, aren't for sale, but the public could view them at his private gallery.

Every pi has a phi lining

The mathematical equivalent of “Every cloud has a silver lining.” When the symbol π reminds millions of math-anxious students and their parents worldwide of their dreaded school math lessons, while the seldom-discussed golden or divine ratio 𝜙 would open their eyes to the beauty, utility, and ubiquity of mathematics.

If more people with a negative experience of school math were told that “every pi has a phi lining,” perhaps math wouldn’t get such a bad publicity among the school subjects.
