It's just coincidental - it's not like we live in a self ordered universe or do we?

Do you really give yourself kudos?
The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.

I was wondering about that as well. I didn't even know it was an option. Let's see:

Nope, not for me it doesn't.

Looks like it's his signature.

This is technically not true because there are no perfect circles!

To see why, first note that Pi is irrational. That is, Pi can not be expressed as a ratio of integers. Now note that all lengths exist as a multiple of the smallest length, planck length (~1.61619926 × 10^-35 m). The circumference and diameter of a given circle are lengths and, therefore, exist as integral multiples of plank length. In other words the ratio of a given circles circumference to its diameter is a rational number!

The larger the circle, the closer the ratio gets to Pi, but in a universe with finite resources, no such object can ever exist.

Tiberius is going to hate this thread. He has a weird thing against pi and for some other number that I cannot think of.

Infinity? (Which may or may not actually be a number)
