I've noticed this as well, and to be honest, I really don't have a problem with it. Isn't this human nature? For the record, I'm a white american male.

Pi is exactly equal to 3!

My brother is a scientist. I had just gotten a new phone, so he didn't have the number, and I texted him to say "Pi is exactly 3". He send back several long messages explaining why this wasn't true, as far as he knew to a complete stranger. So either scientists are incredibly helpful people or they have way too much time on their hands...
