Is the value of pi a constant?  Or does it vary depending on what
flavor the pi is, such as apple or cherry?

Thanks, hailstorm-ga, for posting this very interesting question. 
Only your pISP knows for sure.  Some providers serve dynamic pi.  For
a few dollars more you can have static pi, but grasping this is often
painful during cold winter nights.

But in answer to your question, yes, as the ancient Greeks tried to
tell us:

[pi a consonant]

Please don't rate this answer until I have clarified all the digits of
pi.

OK.  Could you please supply the digits in base pi?

By the way, doesn't "pi" consist of both a consonant and a vowel?

Hi, hailstorm-ga:

According to my recipe the digits of pi consist of 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,
and sometimes 9.  Adjust proportions to taste.

With apologies to Lewis Carroll, the value of pi is a consonant.  The
name of the value of "pi" consists of a consonant and a vowel.

If you are asking what the name of the value of "pi" was called, or
the title thereof, please post this as a separate question as I'm
churlish with "perls 'o wisdom".

best wishes, mathtalk

Please, no more pi, I'm stuffed!

While we await mathtalk's response, here's a little pi-in-the-face
humor:

Q: What do you get when you divide the circumference of a
jack-o-lantern by its diameter?

A: Pumpkin pi.

pi-r-square?
No, pi-r-round, cornbread-r-square.

Do we talk about an African or a European pi?

The value of pi increases in direct proportion to the length of time
since you had any.

There once was a man from down under
Whose party was 10 folks in number
But the pi that he ordered
had only been quartered
Since the pi girl geometrically blundered.

Hailstorm --

I think that it will depend on whether you need your private
investigator in Tokyo, Hamburg or San Francisco:

I can't resist throwing one more pi:

Q: What is the ratio between the circumference and the diameter of a
circle called in base 8?

A. Octo pi. 

(Gonna quit now before I get pi-eyed.)

Oh...I just couldn't resist...

In the Greek alphabet, pi is the sixteenth letter (and 16 is the
square of 4). In the English alphabet, p is also the sixteenth letter,
and i is the ninth letter (the square of 3). Add them up (16+9), and
you get 25 (the square of five). Multiply them (16x9), and you get 144
(the square of 12). Divide 9 by 16, and you get .5625 (the square of
.75). It's no wonder that they say, "Pi are squared!"

And now for something completely different...

Q: What do you get when you take a bovine and divide its circumference
by its diameter?
A: Cow pi. 

Q: What do you get when you take green cheese and divide its
circumference by its diameter?
A: Moon pi. 

Q:What do you get when you take a native Alaskan and divide its
circumference by its diameter?
A: Eskimo pi. 

Q:What do you get when you take the sun and divide its circumference
by its diameter?
A: Pi in the sky. 

Q: What do you get if you divide the circumference of a bowl of ice
cream by its diameter?
A: Pi a'la mode.

Now I'm all hungry.
