Take a piece of paper and draw a circle on it. Now draw a line through the circle that also goes through the center (this is called the diameter). Now imagine lifting that line off the paper and wrapping it around the circle. It doesn't go all the way around does it? Now imagine wrapping a couple more lines around the circle that are the same length as the original line (so that you have three lines total) It almost makes it all the way around now…but not quite. Now imagine taking one more line and putting it down. This time it goes too far and overlaps the very first line that you put down. In fact you only need about 15% of the line to make a complete circle. You now have 3 lines + 15% of a line, which equals 3.15. If you get a microscope out though you will see that it's a little bit less than 3.15, maybe 3.1415 or so. If you get out an even more powerfull microscope you will find that the number of diameters it takes to go around a circle is about 3.1415927. Engineers and scientists use this number 3.1415927 all the time. Instead of writing the entire number in their equasions though, they use a symbol instead: π, pronounced "pi".
The interesting thing about pi is that the closer you look at it, the more numbers it gets on the end of it (see Lord PC for more details). The fact of the matter is that pi goes on forever. When computer designers want to test a machine they ask it to compute pi to one million places, or 1 trillion, or whatever. There's also something else that's interesting about pi. Because it goes on forever you can find any combination of numbers you want, all you have to do is look long enough. It also works with letters too, if you assign each letter a number, for example A=1 B=2, and so on and so forth. What this means is that if you look through pi long enough, eventually you will find the message "William is God"

Remember everyone, pi makes the world go round.
Get it?! pi, round, circle, sphere...
