Pi 3:14

The banned Book of Pi, chapter 3, verse 14, where the prophet wrote: “I have seen and experienced all beautiful, irrational, imaginary, metamathematical, transcendental, and sacred things about the number π under the sun; all of them are man-made and meaningless, a chasing after the next mathematical shiny object.”

Does Pi 3:14 sound like a mathematical equivalent of Ecclesiastes 1:14, where King Solomon with all his wisdom and wealth concluded that all is vanity?

Pi Inequality

When the number π feels marginalized in some puritan or theocratic quarters as it is allowed only to express itself to one or two decimal places, or to two or three significant figures, while such a numerical oppression is quasi-inexistent in most countries in the West.

Due to oft-unspoken pi inequality, π in different milieux is not treated equally or fairly.

The Man Who Mistook Pi for Pie

When on hearing the sound of the number π, an autistic person or idiot savant thinks of a slice of a cake or pizza instead, or equates either word for something else that is unmistakably alien or paranormal.

Just as the man who mixed up his job for his life, Prof. Paulos, who mildly suffers from schizophrenia, occasionally sounds like the man who mistook pi for pie.

Piece of Pi

A math question that is considered so easy to solve, or a math paper that turns out to be as easy as pie—a no-brainer even for those who are anxious or petrified about certain brain-unfriendly school or college math topics.

Most of the 2021 grades 1–5 math exam papers in certain US red states were a piece of pi for the a large proportion of students during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Magnum PI

When you take such a huge dump it forms an island in the toilet. A Poop Island.

After last night’s chili dinner, I formed a Magnum PI this morning.

Harpos Pies

When you buy random objects from waitress, like a set of pies, and then never collect on them, or never really anticipate you will get them.

I can't believe Brooks bought 6 "harpos pies" from that waitress; he is never going to get them...

Toilet Pi

When you treasure your time in the toilet to let your wandering mind act as a catalyst to increase your chances of experiencing an aha about or on the number π.

Carlos looks forward to doing his daily business because on a few occasions he’s struck with some toilet pi epiphanies.
