What do we mathematicians know about "hair pi"? Here are some facts:
- hair pi is irrational
definitely true - hair pi is transcendental
a bit grandiose, but I wouldn't disagree - because of the nature of hair pi, a hairy circle can't be turned into a hairy square
and who would want to? - the volume of a hair cylinder is length times width squared times hair pi, divided by four.
Umm... my width- turned into a square, then divided by four??? Ouch... sounds painful - if a hair cylinder with the same length as a hair gap, then it has a probability of hair pi of actually landing on the gap when falling down towards it.
That seems like low odds for my hair cylinder. Maybe being a mathematician isn't the way to score some serious "gap" action. - Given a flow from a hairy place... the direct distance from the source of the hair flow to the mouth, divided into the actual distance required to get there, results in a ratio of hair pi!
A trifle obtuse, but sadly, actual math was used in the generation of this fact. - if we put hair pi through a log, we do not know if it is irrational
Excuse me, but don't we normally try to put the log into the hair pi? No wonder mathematicians don't score much gap action- they've got it all backwards! - it is not known if hair pi is normal to any base.

Wha'??? Wha'?!?
Where were you?!?!
You mean the other morning? Car troubles- got in about an hour late. You were already gone. :(
