At least we don't argue like this

"The mathematical constant pi is under threat from a group of detractors who will be marking "Tau Day" on Tuesday.

Tau Day revellers suggest a constant called tau should take its place: twice as large as pi, or about 6.28 - hence the 28 June celebration."

Cue the rabid pro and anti pi/tau comments...

Well I'm not going to start relearning the formula for the area of a circle
pi r squared becomes tau r squared/2, An extra step (sorry I'm not searching for symbols!)

However for those celebrating tau day. Have a good day and enjoy the music! [youtube]3174T-3-59Q[/youtube]

My understanding is that too much pi can increase your circumference. :shock:
