Since hearing about her recurring misery, both pi and phi had stepped forward to advise (un)protected six against befriending numerical or geometrical wolves in sheep’s clothing.

Get the (Un)protected Six mug.How the cleansing and healing power of the five elements—fire, water, wood, metal, earth—could open our minds and bodies to the hidden beauty or symmetry of the number π.
To truly experience, feel, or visualize pi, a pure mathematician turned Zen Master recommended his students to the tao of pi—when they might see the invisible in π with their mind’s or spiritual eye.

Get the The Tao of Pi mug.A synesthetic question that would best be posed to idiot savants, whose varying answers would probably be based on their degree of autism, or to some math nerds suffering from schizophrenia.
Some math geeks turned psychologists think that they too could figure out the answer to “What’s the temperature of pi?” without being afflicted with any mental disorders.

Get the What’s the Temperature of Pi? mug.A new year term used by someone (who doesn’t approve of China’s internal politics and its foreign policy in bribing or bullying many poor or developing natural resources-rich countries) to their Chinese friends, foes, or fiends rather than using “Chinese New Year.”
If you want to be in the good books of the Chinese communists or nationalists, use “Chinese Lunar New Year,” not the arguably disrespectful “Lunar New Year” or the highly disparaging “Korean Lunar New Year” to infuriate them.

Get the Complaints of Void mug.A term that describes a subset of mathematical constants that try to adopt certain adult behaviors or practices of the number π so that they too could catch the attention of an oft-semi-illiterate public, who might show an interest in them, especially their sexy numerical or geometric properties.
What are the chances that “pitrosexual” would be named the word of the year by the mathematical brethren in a-not-too-distant future?

Get the Pitrosexual mug.Short for “Spy Pi.” The coded term for a math secret agent—who usually works as a journal or college textbook math editor, reviewer, or consultant—who would leak out information about submitted journal articles or contracted unedited manuscripts on the number π to some tenured faculty members (or to those seeking a permanent position in academia) in exchange for cash or favors.
Although the pool of 007 π operatives worldwide is unknown, however, their number is likely to be much higher than expected, as they’re sought after by faculty members who’d resort to unethical means and ways to secure tenure.
