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

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.

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?
