Unfortunately it appears to have resulted in a multiplicative increase in sales from zero.

The cynic in me wonders how long it'll be before Hallmark (or whoever) start selling circular cards with a picture of a pie on them saying happy "pie" day...

You mean something like: if nLoopCount > 1,000,000 then throw exception ASA?

Please note that the use of \pi , \sqrt{2} or e in any argument automatically makes it irrational.

How many reals could Cantor count if Cantor could count reals?
