Can I have a small container of coffee?  Why?  Because that's pi.*^π
By Joe Pivetti

François Viéte's radical pi John Wallis' rational pi René Descartes' pi (integrated) Sir Isaac Newton's quickly converging pi Leonhard Euler's arc tangent pi Pasty Frenchman Viéte's pi had lots of square roots indeed    - it's as radical as the Nation-of-Islam's bean pie (which was the undoing of Muhammad Ali). Of course, it was after Descartes, whence his fourth of a pi became integrated   ..but well before widely accepted recipes for sweet potato, and shoofly, pie, were created. Wallis, while decoding enemy cyphers, just like Vieta, formulated a quite rational pi   - he preferred a simple crust with fruit or custard inside. Newton apologized for spending so much time with pi even though his quickly converges   - like caroler's smelling figgy pudding before another hungry choir emerges. Euler cooked up the log of pi using several even powered phrases   - then he took to a different tangent and, in one hour, had pi to twenty places. When Legendre proved pi squared irrational   ...he meant that pan pizza's antithesis is in thin crust and traditional. If we didn't have the magnetic Gauss, Carl Friedrich, we'd've missed out on his latticed pi solution   - thank Gott for the German upper-crust dough-weaving's fill-top caramelization. Then Lindemann proved the transcendence of pi   - I wonder if he'd have gone à la mode in Cambria, California, with a Linn's Olallieberry pie. *π Count the letters in the title
