Fun fact: Pi is the measure of any circle's radius around HALF of the same circle's circumference. Try it out, you'll see that it goes around 3 times, plus just a LITTLE more (which is that annoying never-ending crap that you see above :D)
better even, take a piece of paper, draw a large square with side 1. Draw a circle into this square, centred in the center of the square, tangent to the square.
draw axes with equally spaced numbers (vertical and horizontal)
Right down 200 or so coordinates randomly. Plot them on that piece of paper and count how many are in the circle. multiply this number by two and divide the total amount of points you've chosen.
If you have done this right, you should see pi appearing.
