Why It’s Called Pi

It all makes perfect sense now. I don’t know the original source for this image. If I find who did it, I’ll celebrate by calculating the area of a blackberry pie. -via Digg

Well first of all it is Pi as in Greek letter ? which stands for ?????????? (periphery) and ?????????? (perimeter). Which i think is neat.
ok.. sorry, it doesn’t display greek letters in my previous post. sorry for that. just check wikipedia for it or osmething
i did – that was the sound of neat and interesting knowledge whooshing by you while you were trying to be clever.
I’m actually a little embarrassed that I never noticed this before. Very neat.
Fascinating to take the Arabic numeral expression of the first few digits of Pi and find that turning them upside down incorrectly spells the word for the Greek letter in the Roman alphabet.
Ah, I just realized my problem. See, my 4 is never written with the “closed” top …
What’s so greaet about that?
So, the number 3.14 written a certain way looks similar to the classical greek Rho Iota Sigma, or Sigma Iota Rho, depending on which direction you read it. RIS makes no sense, but SIR spells the English word “sir”.
So is this saying that men are mathematically perfect?
“what’s so great about that”
Man, ted, you’re a downer.
There’s nothing “great” about that. It’s neat. Like the name of this website?
It’s like people on Fark complaining “this is news?”
Carl, you took my comment too seriously, and ignored my own more accurate interpretation of the phenomenon.
Shame on you.
wow! so simple but this can’t be why, must be a coincidence
did they hold it up to a mirror
@emmakate Yup, I agree. What happened to his show anyway? It was pretty funny.
