I think the staple is a function of our verdana font.
Supposedly, π works as well. Let's try: π

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.

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

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?

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

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?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
The Times pi looks much better to me.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Helping with the general entertaining nitpickery - maybe "Nilly, could this be mathier?" instead? Sounds more natural, you know?
