I think it is true that pi would be lonely, because his girlfriend would clearly have trouble getting a word in edgewise...what with him going on forever and ever. However, consider that pi, as a decimal, is both non-terminating and non-repeating...I think repeating decimals like 0.333... (1/3) would be lonelier, because they go on forever but just keep on repeating and repeating and repeating and repeating...

Actually, if you look at it that way, perhaps you could argue that the loneliest number would be the number 0.999... and of course that's equal to 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3, or 3/3, which is in fact the number 1.

Not only that, he is so hard to understand, being both irrational and transcendental. Poor Pi.

I know! People say he's irrational and he's always talking in circles. But at least he doesn't repeat himself like some constants.

Pi isn't lonely, he has a whole day to himself! i is far lonlier, no one knows if he actually exists.

I've known people that spoke in circles too. Every thought is a tangent, returning to a basic theme.
What was I saying? I don't know, I tuned out for a minute.
But anywayyy...

You know, I'm having a "Monday disguised as a Friday" kind of day, and I really needed this. It really made me laugh...

"Two can be as bad as Pi, it's the lonliest number since the number Pi...oh..."

Maybe 3 Dog Night can release this version!

He would not be so lonely if he would just shut his pi-hole for once.

This brings back some nice memories of the only Pi Day I ever really observed. Thanks, Doug.

Am I the only one who noticed that Pi looks like a turkey? Keep up the good work Doug. This was worth 22/7 of a good laugh!

Speaking of Pie Day, my sister made two pizzas. Well, one of them was round and the other was a rectangle. I ate the rectangle cheese pizza. I feel so bad for not joining in on the celebration! Well, the rest of my family did. I almost forgot - I did taste the crust of the round one. Technically, I celebrated, too!

As someone who studies the Greek language, i would like to point this out:

the Greek Letter π is supposed to be pronounced like our English letter P.

As with any other Greek Letter that we spell with an "i" at the end.

Pi, Phi, Chi, Psi, Xi

They should be pronounced Pee, Phee, Chee (the CH makes a very guttural sound), Psee, Ksi, respectively.

So really... today is "Pee" day.

And I think I'm going to celebrate right now.

aww, now the song's stuck to my head and it will never be the same again. i think pi as the lonliest number is truer. you're brilliant doug! :P

I forgot this year's Pi-day! :o

And I think it doesn't look like a turkey. More like that Davy Jones, from Pirates of the Caribbean :P
