A PI Magazine by Any Other Name

I found a fabulously clever Twitter account today - PI Magazine. I guess it just reminded me that we all cannot own specific phrases and brands when they are generic or when specific words or abbreviations like P.I. can be attributed to other uses.

This Tweeter(?) uses PI in the context of "π, the mathematical constant whose value is the ratio of any circle's circumference to its diameter."

Here are a few of my favorite 3.14 related tweets:

"The fattest knight at King Arthur's round table was Sir Cumference. He acquired his size from too much pi."

"If you want this twitter account, you'll have to apologize first, then write a $3.14M check with "Newby" in the subject line. You know my number."

and of course...

"Need to find followers who share a love for "geometric investigations.""

Hahahahaha.

Here is another great use of the term from Private Investigator Magazine:
