3.14159265 is an exact number, pi isn't?

2. And why is it okay to square a number, but not circle a number? |
|
Or for that matter, to cube a number but not sphere a number?

4. I'd like to throw pi in Ann Coulter's face |
|
But she'd probably just purge it and say math is a tool of the slanderous commie liberal elite.
