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?" “what’s so great 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 greaet about that?
