EVERYTHING involves pi. Or e. Or both. :-) Want proof? Before you can say "NO!" ...... (Hope I remember this one right.) Draw some parallel lines 1 inch apart covering a sheet of paper. Toss a 1 inch long straw into the air onto the paper. Count the number of times the straw lands on a line and the total number of tosses. As the number of tosses increases, the ratio (# of times straw lands on a line)/(total number of tosses) approaches ..... TRA LA! 1/pi How did you live this long without knwing that? :-)
