Neither does 'e', the base of the Nautural logarithm, AKA Euler's
Number:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E_%28ma...al_constant%29

Pi and 'e' are considered irrational and/or transcendental numbers. Pi
used to be my favorite number, until I discovered 'e' in engineering
school! :-)

I have never seen a calzone for sale around here. A local Italian bakery
sells stromboli. I tried one once. It was basically a mini pizza rolled
up and baked.

My stromboli is way less cheesy and different cheese from pizza,
and more variety of meats. When I say my stromboli, it's actually
any stromboli I've ever had anywhere, but I can't speak for what
you had.

I use capicola, salami, ham, along those lines, it makes up the
bulk of the filling. Provolone. I personally do more of an
envelope than a roll, but that's my preference.

with cool sounding names and ALL delicious! :-) YUM!!

No, it wasn't even laughable, and ancient rocks was the last straw. :-)

I don't where it will come but any number sequence will be found in pi.
You could reach the point where 5 1's in a row are needed.

It was a weird and boring movie. Zero desire to read the book.

Factoid: A man who lives (part time, anyway) on Dataw won an academy
award for special effects for 'The Life of Pi'. He was part of a team,
of course. I never saw the movie, never read the book.
