A curious memory from our recent holiday...

Yes, Greece was the cradle of modern mathematics, but just why were there two stones on the beach at Emporios marked with the Greek letter Pi...?

Perhaps they are all that was left and the others were eaten.
But that then begs the question,
"Who ate all the Pi's"

If there's a Worst Pun in the Blog Comments 2013 competition that one gets my vote.

Or perhaps they were left there to guide people to the Pi Shop.

Being only a simple pi-man, what can I say in response to such witty punning... :)

Perhaps they indicate a part of the beach to be used as a urinal.

The tone of these comments seems to have taken an unfortunate (but, of course, predictable) turn! Look what, in all innocence (!), I started.... :)

We were passing and knew one of our greatest fans was near so we left our marks!
