Another howler! It *damn* sure doesn't equal Pi...
Pi is one of the *irrational* numbers... that means,
for you folk that haven't had advanced math as
Bill and I have, that it *can't* be represented as
a ratio of integers. 22/7 is only good out to three
digits... if you can rattle off 3.1415927 like a phone
number, you don't need that 22/7 thing anyway.
