I saw a lecture recently where they talked about normed spaces. There, you could make pi many different things depending on the norm. Could be anything from 3 to 8. Lucky we don't live in those worlds, though.

You know, they never did mention pi on that series, mostly beer ...

(Actually, after taking a couple of years of advanced math in college, I pretty much lived in Norm's world.)
