First Comment: They eat pie. And yes, I realize you are talking about math.

My Comment: Not only do people eat pie, which is round, but they consume other round food. For example, cup cakes, cookies, a Pizza pie, etc. Other than that, people play games, such as "Who can remember the most digits of Pi (3.14...)?".

A fresh slice of Pi commentary:

When Pythagorean geometry is discovered to be the true ambience of Pi Day, the world of geometry quickly unfolds and totally eclipses memorization of digits and pie consumption (but pie is still served in generous portions):

In a right triangle, having the hypotenuse as the radius of the circle, and the cosine angle (near the circle's center) = 27.5971126356906044517322.. degrees, the no Pi trigonometry formula for the area of the circle becomes:

Area = ((Cos 27.5971126356906044517322..) x diameter) squared

Sample math (same calculation using Pi is shown last):

Given: diameter = 2,000,000,000 units; radius = 1,000,000,000.

A = ((cos 27.597112635690604451732204752339..) x diameter) squared

= (0.88622692545275801364908374167057 x 2000000000) squared

= 1772453850.9055160272981674833411 squared

= 3141592653589793238.4626433832795

= 3141592653589793238.4626433832795

using the formula A = Pi x radius squared.

Therefore, some Pi are square, some are round, but no Pi is triangular.

Conjectured Pythagorean humor:

When asked to elaborate on his articulation of squared circles,

Pythagoras winked and delivered his briefest brief: "My Pi, my Pi!".
