A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Let's try it as a link:

Natter 17 = 4² - cos(Π); Could This Be Mathier, Nilly?

t edit Ahh... that looks much better than when I used the t sup tag.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Except the pi symbol looks like a staple to me.

The superscript looks fine.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Whoops, Π is the capital letter pi. π is lower-case pi.

I think the staple is a function of our verdana font.

Supposedly, π works as well. Let's try: π

t edit Just looks like a smaller staple....

It doesn't look like a staple to me...

edit: I'm thinking this MUST have something to do with my own settings - just in case you're wondering if I am crazy.

Does this mean we can get rid of verdana? t /predictable

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I think the staple is a function of our verdana font.

Yep. Verdana has an ugly-assed pi. (And this bothers me far more than it should.)

Or a Stonehenge monument in danger of being crushed by a dwarf.

All is well that ends in pizza.

There's a upper and lower case Pi?

I, indeed, could be mathier.

It ain't math; it's greek.

Let me try something else:

Natter 17 = 4² - cos(π): Could This Be Mathier, Nilly?

t edit I used a helvetica pi, which (as opposed to symbol) everyone should have (I think).

t re-edit Or we can try it with Times:

Natter 17 = 4² - cos(π): Could This Be Mathier, Nilly?
