Flipper:

You are trying wayyyyyyyyy to hard.

pi exists because we _can_ draw a circle.


Aaah but without circles there'd be no pi therefore the idea* of a circle
must have existed before the idea of the ratio of its circumference to its
diameter... I think you've got yourself into a chicken-and-egg situation
there. And Mr. Darwin can't help you with this one!

* "idea" isn't necessarily the right word there but I'm sure you see what I
mean...
