Fun facts about Pi:
- Pi was invented to describe circles. It was invented by Euclid, the ancient Greek philosopher, mathematician, and father of modern medicine. He described it in his writings as "between 3 and 4", and stated that was "close enough." This number was later refined to be more accurate.
- If you unroll a circle and measure the distance from tip to rear, the number will end in a 3 if Pi was used to calculate the radius.
- The world record for knowing Pi to a certain number of digits is owned by a computer (eleventy billion digits). A fun hobby for people with far too much time on their hands is to memorize pi to a ridiculous number of digits.
- Pi is important in the "golden ratio" described by da Vinci. If you multiply the number of inches in your arms by Pi and add the number of toes on each foot times two, you will always end up with a real number divisible by your age.
- Scientists have discovered that bees always flap their wings at a frequency that is perfectly divisible by Pi. This is one of the reasons that bumblebees are physically incapable of flight.
- The symbol for Pi was originally supposed to be a Mu. This was narrowly averted due to a close vote put forth by the Greek Philosophers Union. Think how differently society would have developed in a world in which we all make Mu/moo jokes instead of Pi/pie jokes!
- If you type the first 10 digits of Pi on a keyboard's number pad, you will make the exact shape of the constellation Orion.
- The ratio of the distance from the straight part of the left part of the symbol Pi to the top straight part and curved part on the right is exactly 3.14!
- If you read all these fun Pi facts, the word "Pi" will have lost all meaning due to overuse. Pi.

Engineering joke:
A conference was being held in NYC on Control Systems. A delegation of engineers from Poland were arriving by plane and while nearing JFK, the pilot announced that they should look out the left window and they'll see the Statue of Liberty, so they all rushed to the left side of the plane and looked out. Then the pilot told them to look out the right window and they can see the Empire State Building. They all rushed over and the plane immediately did a nose dive and crashed. And why did this happen?
... because all of the Poles were on the right-side of the plane!
*crickets*
I am sure somebody will appreciate it.
