I must learn to harness this power to perpetrate evil deeds. Mmmmm, perhaps I will cause 500 people to sign up for Lollapuzzoola, creating a mob scene in Queens, that has not been seen since the 1960's anti-war demonstrations. Then, dressed as the superhero "Puzzle Girl", Christina Applegate will arrive to save the day. @Howard B:

See Mike N. for more info, I'm far removed from chemistry class. I do not know how much guacamole this number would produce, when applied to avocados. e = approx. 2.71828183... Explanation involves algebra and graphing, that I'm sure Mike can explain much better when he's around. i is defined as the square root of -1, and therefore i squared = -1. Although i is considered an 'imaginary' number, it has actual, practical uses in physics and computers, among other things. If you attempt to perform calculations on i at home without proper training and/or equipment, you may travel backwards in time, experience dizziness, hallucinations, spontaneous combustion, or occasional drowsiness. See your doctor for more information. Re: PI:
