Although Pi is amusing, I find to be much more irrational as you can see it but you can't compute it.

Maybe you can clear something up for me. The mathematicians tell me that pi is irrational (i.e. can't be expressed as a ratio), yet the very definition of pi is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter.

The Pi symbol was introduced in 1706 by mathematician William Jones, but it wasn't made popular until Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler used it in 1737.

The Pi symbol is the first letter of the Greek word, perimetros, which loosely translates to "circumference," says PiDay.org.

Why do you hate September?

It is a lovely month.

Now you have gone and hurt it's feeling and it is going to cry and be all soggy.

“Nice, but ‘30 days hate September, APRIL, June and November “

So, mistakes were made.

Why do you hate September, April, June and November?

It’s irrational! We are all irrational! The world is irrational!

It’s all Lambert’s fault! Blame him!

It can’t be expressed as a simple fraction
