"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh
Math was never my strong point, but I do admire those who know the stuff. I think I became numerically traumatized trying to grasp the concept of imaginary numbers in the 12th grade.

Minicapt, π is an irrational number. But at least π can be calculated, and universally agreed upon.
The Dems' budget numbers, not so much.
mojo, τ is also used to express shear stress in structural cross-sections. So there's two strikes.
It also stands for "Teletubbies in Actual Use"; which is a 3rd strike.
Cheers
