    We just have pi buttons on calculators now. There's no reason to even know what number it is.

    I use 22/7 if I can. Makes things easier. Also, yeah, this is pretty definitive of nerds.

    Yes, I will freely admit to you that I am a nerd.

    However, this is obviously a case of "Hello kettle, hello kettle, this is pot, you are black, I repeat, you are black over"

    Not everyone who uses a computer is a nerd. Please, now.

    (I'm not denying anything, though, although I'd consider myself more of a geek than a nerd.)

    I think it's fairly safe to say that everyone who uses the CTYI forum is a nerd. Computers and a forum for a smart kids camp. :rolleyes: And yes, I am clearly a nerd.

    I consider myself more of a dork than a nerd... Although I do have horrendously nerdy moments...

    Back to the whole pi thing, my maths teacher says one of the most accurate pi fractions is the 4th root of 1743/22!

    Incase you can't see that picture: http://www.contains2.com/comics/wade/PI.gif

    An irrational number is a number that continues on to infinity, ie it cannot be expressed as a single decimal.

    Just for kicks, the square root of 2 is something in the region of 1.4142135623730950488016887242097...

    While pi is about 3.1415926535897932384626433832795...

    My "contribution":
    Two functions, f(x) and f(y) walk into a bar one day. They see all the other functions dancing and having a great time, but then they see e^x sitting on his own at the bar. So they go up to him and say "Whats wrong e^x, why don't you go integrate with the other functions?". e^x responds, "Why bother, it wouldn't make a difference"
