Pi should be re-defined to twice its current value. The idea that there are 2*pi radians in one revolution is silly, and if we instead had pi radians in a revolution, then learning trig functions and radian measure would be much easier. We also wouldn't have all these 2's popping up next to pi's everywhere - Fourier Transforms, Residue Theorem, etc.
I will have my own little pi celebration on June 28.
