#10 Thought pi day was on 3-14? Akira Haraguchi, 60, needed more than 16 hours to recite the number to 100,000 decimal places, breaking his personal best of 83,431 digits set in 1995.

#11 I prefer pi/4 as in pi/4 d^2. Good to find the area of a circle given the diameter.

Pi r squared? No, pi are round, cornbread are squared.
