22/7 is the day for celebrating Pi (in countries that can get the month and day in the right order at least)

So go out and get some pi for lunch. MMMmmmm pi.

I actually know Pi to 15 decimal places... just don;t ask me why as I have no idea.

I was about to say why didn't they ever teach me pi was 22/7, but it isn't.

I was taught that it was a rough approximation, useful for quick and dirty mental estimates but should never be used for anything that mattered.

It's only accurate to 2 decimal places!

Which is accurate enough for a rough estimate
