Quote (Ugo @ Sep. 01 2011, 19:11) | @ Dan, thanks for the link, I did know that the origin of the phrase "pie in the sky" was something like that - we also have an old Italian saying meaning pretty much the same thing. But eye-one was talking about a Pi in the sky. Wordplay or not, I've never seen a Pi in the sky. It would be far too long to even be carried up there. |
You're welcome, Ugo. Of course, Carl Sagan in his novel Contact believed that a secret message was coded by God into the umpteenth digit of pi, but that's not quite the same thing!
