While Pi is irrational (Proof[^]), it's certainly not 22//7. Of course, anyone who's looked into the curriculum for becoming a certified teacher knows that there's no actual knowledge involved. Just psychobabble and fluff...
But that brings to mind my 7th grade math class, and a teacher who actually knew math. We had a couple dozen electromechanical calculating machines in the back of the room, and the day she told us that one can approximate Pi by dividing 22 by 7, my friend and I set up that division on all of the machines, but didn't press the execute key until the bell rang at the end of class. We ran through the machines and started them all at about the same moment and ran out the door. Next class we learned that it took about 15 minutes for them all to settle down.

An RC (Release Candidate) for Visual Studio 2012?
Even Visual Studio 2015 is out of this stage, showing this message for Visual Studio 2012 means you missed a lot of fun, consider giving it a refresh.  Update the libraries and so, I hope it will work the update it is talking about will be about Visual Studio 2015.

No. "RC" means "Release Candidate".

I get a feeling here that you might be on the same designer-drugs that OriginalGriff is on, but I suspect that Griff is getting stuff a little more idempotent.
Of course, I'm just saying this out of jealousy.

Makes me think of a lovely little book named Quotable quotes for quoters.
But I prefer the book Schwarzes Humor I got to improve my German skills.

The Chinese family of three on the back of Plai Somjai (that's the elephant's name) have been rescued after three hours in the forest after Plai gored his mahout to death and ran off [^].
The story now reads that Plai saw another mahout who had abused him in the past, became enraged, shook his head, causing his mounted mahout to fall off, then gored his mahout on the ground.
I'll bet that one's traumatized Chinese family.
My sympathies go out to them, and the family of Khun Surachai, the deceased mahout.

No, the lesson is to ride only elephants who claim to be members of a group which purports to adhere to a doctrine of "forgive and forget".

Poor form old chap. The soapbox back-room is -------> that-a-way.
"When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down 'happy'. They told me I didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life." - John Lennon

Oh yes? I seem to be missing things as I get older.
Perhaps you'd be kind enough to direct my attention to the previous mention of religion in the topic?
