Phi

Phi is the Golden Ratio between a mile and a kilometer and a true indication of absolute perfection. The discovery of Phi or otherwise known as <math> \phi\ </math> (thanks goes to Merlin) is an even greater mistake than the discovery of Pi (again, that one was not necessarily Merlin's fault).
Merlin's simple formula is one that is taught in most elementary schools, which goes as follows:
\phi\ = c\sqrt\frac{\left (\sqrt\frac{234x^5}{56x} \right)^3+a}{\sqrt{34}-x^{2x+34}+ \sin (x-34^{log45x})}+23b^{x}+0.554768^a+23d
where a = \frac{4325^{x^2+x+1}}{45+67x^2}+23464.4567456-x( the equation of 2\pi )
and b = \int_{a}^{b}{9ccd9400fa726d26ca269e0665d51890}
and c = d^x
and d = \log{34a^{2+b}}
==Phi: The Results of a Mushroom-picking Adventure Game==

It is said that Merlin discovered Phi whilst frolicking amongst the forest-dwelling ascetics of India (just prior to his first book release entitled Spitzensparkin De Ninkumpoop). He, at that point, had eaten quite a few of the wild mushrooms and was reported yelling: "YRHASDAN PHI SHIZNATO!" in the middle of a forest, which translates roughly to: "I FIND PHI IN ANACONDA SNAKE ASS!". The truth about this is that he was actually just looking at a fallen-down log with a worm on it. It was there that he saw the sacred formula begin to coalesce in his mind. He proceeded to attempt to extract the formula with a pair of toenail clippers and a sledgehammer, but at that moment he laid an egg and fell over unconscious. 
Phi was rediscovered several times since then, but offered little or none or even less interest because no human was able to teach it to little children at school, much less grasp, the formal definition of it. Soon the Golden Age of Antiquity was born, perfection was on the rise, and the Greeks adopted Phi into their alphabet in order to appear intelligent. 
The catastrophic impact was... well... catastrophic. Suddenly, everything had to contain the value of Phi somewhere inside of it: architecture, sculptures, paintings, recipes, playing cards, newspaper clippings, seashells, slinkies, stock-market projections, View-Master®s, rabbit breeding programs, magic potions, and so on. The ideal height was set to 1.618 feet, as was the ideal weight; which resulted in roughly 1,618,033.988 victims during the Great Golden Ratio Famine of 280 BCE. However, it was okay since everybody knew it was perfect.
==Phi: Not to be Confused with Pi==
Pi itself is a pretty tasteless number in its natural state. Pi must be baked for 31 minutes at 415.9 degrees °C to turn into one of the best tasting numbers: pie. Then can it be consumed.
:CAUTION: Pie may be hot.
Unfortunately, as pie has become more and more popular, there are knock-off versions of it that are made by borderline mentally challenged children in sweatshops in India. These "Phies" as they are called, are never as fresh tasting, or as sweet as authentic pies.
===Phi is not an Irrational number===
Phi ends at 238 digits. George W. Bush released a statement stating that "This statement is stating that Phi is to be no longer than 238 digits long, despite what any formulas may have to say about it." This seemed like a pretty rational statement at the time, but it lead many scientists to kill themselves slowly due to the consumption of the cheaper-made and aspartame-filled Phies.Please note that most of the children working there have terrible lisps and spitting problems, which lead the scientists to contract many mouth and stomach diseases as well.
==The Mathematics of Phi==
Phi is interesting to mathematicians because: 
* It's smaller than Pi, but it's 7 times bigger at the same time. 
* It's the only other math digit thingy that rhymes with Pi, people think (wow!). 
* Its primary function was to destroy the planet slowly with its perfect proportions until Jesus retook Phi from Satan after he took it from Moses who bought it off some guy that said he knew Merlin, who in turn technically stole the formula from a worm on a log. 
* It fits nicely in most handbags. 
* Pi+350 C+45 minutes-Phi+blackmarket shit=a tasty treat. 
===The Mathematicians view ===
Here is what a mathematician had to say about Phi:
And that's about where the tape ended.
==Phi and religion==
Many religious disputes revolve around the esoteric nature of Phi. This includes the never-ending and ever-lasting battle between the Phionians and the Philos. In Philoism, it is believed that Jesus teamed up with Chuck Norris to retake Phi from Satan by means of distracting him with a small goat to sacrifice and 50 pieces of gold. Satan then made a move to steal it but Chuck performed a roundhouse kick to Satan's face, and thus, the day was saved. However, the Phionians sided with Satan and sought to retake Phi once again.
===The Beginning===
Phi is the reason we are all here, and it's for that same reason, that us as the human race, which has come so far in our advanced civilization, all want to kill ourselves. Although Phi isn't really of evil origin, when Satan took it over his influence stuck with us, and that's why there are so many same-sex and interracial marriages... not that there's anything wrong with that.Nice recovery! 
===The End===
The End 'tis near, and we can all feel it. Phi, being the only reason some mathematicians get up in the morning, will soon come and destroy us all. The only people exempt are Merlin, and perhaps a couple trees, but that's it.
==Other common facts about Phi==
*Phi (much like sandwiches) doesn't allow sunscreen, vinegar, or eggs. 
*It's smaller than Pi, but 7 times bigger than the number 56. 
*Phi states that the only days in which people are allowed to urinate are Thursdays, Fridays, the first Monday of every second month starting with the letter J, 17 days after Ramadan ends, every 23rd day starting from 6th day of Hanukkah, and every 3 days after a full moon. 
*Phi shouldn't be consumed.Not on an empty stomach, anyway.
*Phi's formula was later shortened to 1 + 0.618. 
**0.618 is also perfect, although hard to distinguish from Phi when turned upside down. 
*A common misconception is that Phi is thought to be an allotrope of gold, but it's actually just a less shiny metal called phitanium. Phi is worth 50 gold pieces, however, so it can be exchanged. 
*Phi's full name is:

*Phi is also the original Mr. Perfect: File:Phi_expAlgebra.JPG
*If angered, Phi will possibly turn rational. 
*Phi is irrational, but not complex (just darn too many decimals in it...). 
**The only substance in the universe known for being both irrational and complex at the same time are Females. 
*Did I mention Phi was also perfect?
