Happy Pi Day from the native speakers!

In Greek π is pronounced almost as "p". A little team research led us to a mnemonic called piphilology, that is how to memorise the first digits of the endless constant π. Here goes one we liked:

Ἀεὶ ὁ Θεὸς ὀ Μέγας γεωμετρεῖ,

τὸ κύκλου μῆκος ἵνα ὁρίσῃ διαμέτρῳ,

παρήγαγεν ἀριθμὸν ἀπέραντον,

καὶ ὅν, φεῦ, οὐδέποτε ὅλον θνητοὶ θὰ εὕρωσι

Translation:

The Great God applies geometry forever;

To define the length of the circle using its diameter,

He produced an infinite number,

Which, alas, mortals will never find in its entirety.

The image comes from a 13th century manuscript in France, depicting Christ as a geometre, and it seems to suit the above mnemonic well.
