The Times pi looks much better to me.
Seconded.
I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

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

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I vote for the Times pi.

Yes! I had not realised what it lacked, until you mentioned it! Let it be done.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
ROFL at the math geekery on display.
Which I would never be mistaken for sharing. Hee.

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

It's the mixture of math geekery and HTML perfectionism that makes me feel right at home here.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Yeah, pi has an uppercase and a lowercase; luckily,they are like pi and pi junior. (Other Greek letters = much more confusing.)
Except the pi symbol looks like a staple to me.
It always looks like a staple. Okay, when I draw it. None of that fancypants Times font in my geometry class!

I'm just shocked that no one's yet pointed out that I used an emdash, rather than an endash. The endash looked the same as a minus sign; next to the other minus sign in the formula, it scanned weird. The emdash, although technically wrong, looked better.
HTML perfectionism
Tell me about it. When we were designing the board, I spent way too much time laying out the left column here (esp. the yellow bordered boxes). It's an illness.
