In engineering, every task will take exactly 3.141592 times as long as initially anticipated. The Law of pi is therefore commonly used along project managers when they ask engineers how much time they think they need to finish their work.
Arjan: How long will it take you to finish the design of those tubes?
Vincent: about one and a half hour I think
Arjan: OK, so taking the Law of pi into account, that's gonna take you exactly 282 minutes

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?

A normal clock in which the numerals representing the numbers 1 to 12 have been replaced by only three irrational numbers, positioned at π, 2π, and 3π.
What is the acute angle measure when the minute hand of a pi clock points exactly at 2π while the hour hand has moved past 3π—or when the time is slightly past 9:30? Answer: 97.3°.

I see the transcendental equation, my perfect Pi-etic formula of perfections perception, let me clear the cathartic confetti off my mind, with a little graffiti painted with rhyme, I found within a pure souls schemes, beating at a constant 3.14, life back into my bloodstream, why was such an elegant absolute such as this given to humanity? Perhaps society needed a flawless form to awake from hates mass-memories. Reading a symbol as I laid wide asleep I feel awake, one thing better another numbered sweet flesh, gift of her eternal breath.

When the symbol π drawn on a piece of paper is cut up and glued onto a piece of magnetic sheet to make a DIY fridge magnet—an inexpensive fun family math activity to introduce the most popular constant in mathematics to precocious kids.
What are the chances that if some kidpreneurs decided to tailor-make some pi magnets to sell to their classmates, they could earn enough money to afford a Mother’s Day present?
