Some of you might have heard this funny anecdote about PI.
I found it on a blog years ago:

One professor said he came into class one day with a black eye
and when questioned over it, he said, "well me and the faculty scientists
were having an argument over which was the more fascinating
mathematical constant...PI or E which is the Hubbles constant for
the expansion of the universe".
He said the argument got quite heated and he had to take a stand for
PI....

Please tell me you didn't just laugh....
umm because I didn't...
Honestly.
