Nicolette Sheridan, who plays Russian Agent 3.14 in "Spy Hard," told People
magazine that she was familiar with her name's mathematical allusion. "I
loved math," she said. "It was my favorite subject."

So then, asked the hard-hitting magazine, what does pi stand for?

"Pi," she said, "is pi.  It's a formula. But it's been a while since I've
used it."

[Wonder if she's related to Dan Quayle & spells it "pie". -Ray]
