    In the Amazon screenshot, 1.57142857142857 is half of 22/7, a common approximation for pi.

    That page number is eerily close to half of PI. (1.57079632679490 versus 1.57142857142857

    1.57 is almost half of pi. It's actually half of 22/7 which is a common approximation of pi

    You're wrong. A meme is an attempt (frequently failing as you can see) at being funny, not at being purely annoying.

    Yikes! I didn't know I was so disliked. I guess when I started off, I (at least I) thought it was so funny, I'd fall out of my chair laughing, but now it's really just more of a habit.

    When I was in junior high (around 1963), they showed a film narrated by Wernher von Braun about going to the moon to take pictures of the "dark side". The spaceship looped around the moon and they dropped flares so that they could take pictures. I asked the science teacher why they didn't just wait a week or two when it would be light. The teacher insisted that that wouldn't work because the "dark side" was always in darkness.

    That's just correlation, not causation. Puppies would be killed either way.

    Why do people continue read the Pink Floyd album title as if it claims there's a permanent dark side? The word "permanent" isn't there anywhere. The moon certainly has a dark side at any given time. It's not always the same side that's the currently dark one, but so what?

    No. Both circular and spherical qualify as round (ever hear of a roundtable?). To say the earth is spherical would be incorrect, but looking at it from high above either pole one would clearly see that it is circular.
