Numbers are perfect. There may be flaws in calculations, but never in the numbers themselves. Numbers are found everywhere. You get the everyday use of numbers in your bills and the like, but when you delve down and analyze everything you really notice the power of numbers.
Numbers are part of a beautiful language - math. Math is the universal language. Anywhere in the universe, math will hold true. Two plus two will always equal four (in base 10) no matter what symbols are used to represent the numbers. Tomorrow you may worry about your relationships, comets may hit the Earth, you may get struck by a bus. But at the end of the day tomorrow, six will still be six. Everywhere.
Numbers always hold true. In any circle that is made, the circumference will always be equal to the diameter multiplied by a number known as pi. Always. Numbers are beautiful. Many famous works of art by Davinci, Durer, Michaelangelo, and many others incorporate math. Namely the golden ratio, or phi. Phi may be found in nature, as well. Seashells, shores, plants, everywhere. It can also be found in the human DNA structure and many other biological processes.
Do you know how many breaths you'll take in your lifetime? No, you don't. But there is a number that can tell you this information. Numbers are perfect. Numbers will not stab you in the back. Numbers will not insult you. Numbers will not wreck your car. They are flawless and limitless. They hold a wealth of information that anyone can see.
Look down at that pack of cigarettes on your desk. Sure, it's a pack of cigarettes. It's also 120 cubic centimeters. Refer to things as numbers. Take measurements of everything. Come up with a number for yourself. That way you can introduce yourself as a number then ask others for theirs. If you don't put a number on yourself, someone else will.
And, here is a camwhore of my leg. Yes, that's pi tattooed on it. I am that much of a dork.

I have actually been thinking about this for a while, I want to get an approximation of pi starting at the top of my shoulder down to my elbow.. so 3.1415926535..... to about 1000 decimal places. I'm jealous that you got it first, and now I seem like an unoriginal bastard. I guess I'll have to get some other math thing... maybe the golden ratio... FUCK
==================================================
Go with e! I already have a small pi symbol on my forearm and I want to wrap around my arm from there with the best known greek math symbols. I then want from there up with all math inspired work with the centerpiece being a complex integration.

Phi rules. I read the Golden Ratio by Livio awhile ago. Easy read, real interesting. I think I'll check it out again later.

Very true
Although I think it would be intresting with a base 12 society, math I think is easier base 12.
==========================
It certainly would be more fun. I love base 12. Some people find it easier, most would not (unless they were raised using base 12).
And Spuds, the article that actually made me want to write this was about a guy who taught a third grade class binary mathematics using only questions. He used the "What if only humans use base 10" in his little experiment. He taught them it having them suppose there were aliens with only two fingers, saying they would then have to use binary.

numbers are only correct when used in the correct context.
numbers can not cure cancer.
numbers will not tuck you in at night.
numbers are infinite intanglibles that every human can understand, but not see.
numbers are asexual and can not reproduce and are therefore a blight on society.
numbers are illiterate and have no earning capacity, making them an even greater burden on the ever-expanding midle-class.
numbers do not understand one another, since numbers lack the capacity to speak.
numbers can be changed at the will of any human: "I told you $25,000, Johnson...well, now it's $15,000. Take it or leave it."
a number will never will the pulitzer prize.

It's PI, not PHI.
============================================
I'm well aware of pi, as you can see. Phi is another irrational number that is also referred to as the golden ratio. If you're familiar with Fibonacci, his most famous works were about the golden ratio, phi.
Read something on phi, it's amazing.

That one of the coolest fucking tattoos I've seen anyone get. It's actually not cliche at all. I didn't think that was possible with body-art anymore.
==============================
So I shouldn't get a tribal for my next tattoo? Damn!
And Williamson, there are 100 digits of pi on my leg. The reason I stopped at 100 is because that was a seven and a half hour session. Five hours of stencilling (to make sure it was all straight) and two and a half hours of tattoo time. I eventually plan on spiralling all the way down my leg, ending at my ankle with a "..."
And Fluff, I love the movie. Quite the thinker flick. Darren Aronofsky's films are amazing. And being born on 4-10-84 would make me currently 21. I'm a damn youngin'.

it is an outhere tatoo really.
but then again math is all relative. maybe only eart use 10 base systems.
also 2 * 2 = 4 is only true for lesser values of 2. higher values will come up eith 4.284756874
