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.)
Easy Bake. Flop-a-palooza. Woosh. Pop. I don't skulk.

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

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Just looks like a smaller staple....
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.

There's a upper and lower case Pi?
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'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
This is deeply funny.

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?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
The Times pi looks much better to me.
Seconded.

Just another day on Buffista Island...
Agree on the Times pi, plus it's a mathy pun!

Choosing a pi font is important business, dammit!
"Nilly, could this be mathier?" is fine with me. But should the comma be replaced with an en-dash? t /ducks
