well... not exactly... that's approximate... and the exact value will never ever be found, because it goes on forever, in no pattern whatsoever.
To put some order to it, pi can also be expressed as:

4x[sq.rt{(1/1)-(1/3)+(1/5)-(1/7)+(1/9)-(1/11)+(1/13)-(1/15)+(1/17)........}]

yay math

Of all brass instruments, the tuba (the largest) has the widest range. Any note playable by any other brass instrument can be played on it, and it can go lower than the higher instruments.

And on that note, although there is no theoretical limit to how high a brass instrument can play, there is a practical one: after a certain note (quad F for the trumpet players out there) the ear can't pick up the note. Makes it hard to learn to play much higher...

A unit of time, rather.

The only adjectives that actually exist are "good","bad", and (not as much) "living" and "dead". Everything else is a comparison of states of being. If you need another person on the earth to determine the adjective, then it doesn't really exist.

Think about it.

The phrase "You don't exist" is an inherant fallacy.

Ditto for "All generalizations are false".

Ditto for "This statement is false".

Ditto for "There are no absolutes".
