Pi, the number, is known for many things: being irrational, being the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of all circles, and... being the homophone of a food.note In English, that is. Not so in many other languages, such as Modern Greek or Russian, where it's pronounced as "pee". This is, basically, any pun on the words "pie" and "pi". It's a good excuse to be both nerdy and intellectual, but at the same time silly and jokey. Perhaps a scientist calculating pi is followed by someone (who could be The Ditz and/or a Big Eater) asking where the pie is, or perhaps someone is made hungry by talk of pi. If a character deliberately makes a joke about pi, they're often a quirky scientist. It might also be a visual joke, such as a pie with the pi symbol written on it, or just a good old-fashioned pun, such as someone saying that math is "easy as pi". Subtrope of Fun with Homophones. Compare Duck!, Literal Metaphor, Literal Money Metaphor, Kitchen Sink Included, Elvish Presley, Uranus Is Showing, Literal Bookworm, and "Balls" Gag for other stock puns. Also compare LOL, 69 and 420, Blaze It for other number jokes. Also compare Gratuitous Greek, since pi was named after a Greek letter. Examples |

Songdrops: In "The Pi Song", some people ask, "Would you like some pi?". The singer, thinking they meant pie, replies in the affirmative and the other people start reciting pi to him. "The Extended Pi Song" is a sequel to "The Pi Song", in which the singers, after reciting pi, ask, "Would you like some more?", and he says no, but they keep reciting anyway, even when he's literally saying, "Make it stop". |

Neopets: In one April Fool's joke, the staff had Fun with Autocensors to prevent users from talking about the prank and spoiling the surprise. Since the prank involved pies in the face, it censored "pie" into "danger", "pi" into "air", and "3.14" into "numbers". | |

In Going Postal, there is a bit of a confusion for some characters (and for the reader) as to how the curse of the Post Office was related to a pie. It turns out it was related to the pi (Bloody Stupid Johnson built a letter-sorting machine in which the pi equaled exactly three, and mayhem ensued). In other Discworld books, Unseen University is known for the appetites of its wizards, causing it to have an unofficial motto of "Eta Beta Pi"—"Eat a bit of (or 'a better') pie." |
