They're probably the only things that "create" information in the sense that you can always grab another slice. Thank you delicious pi!

From one of my favorite college professors: apparently in the Chevy Chase days of Saturday Night Live he would do the Weekend Update and had a recurring bit that went like this.

And now it's time for the basketball scores. 98-82; 102-99; 95-76.

That's data. Without context there's no useful information.
