What does "PI" stand for? - (Aug/06/2008 )
I was asked just that by someone a few minutes ago - and realized I have no clue. Personal something?
Anyone able to enlighten me what that acronym truly means?

Sometimes it means "annoyingly self-important egotist"
may also stand for 'Psychosis Inducer'
A PI cause hallucinations or delusional beliefs. People under the influence of a PI may exhibit changes in personality and thinking. This often accompanied by unusual or bizarre behaviour, as well as difficulty with social interaction and impairment in carrying out the activities of daily living. ~10% of all people exposed to PI become PI themselves. The rest are scared for life, often forming support groups such as the one you see here. We will endure!

Isn't it supposed to stand for the Perfect Idol...especially for the 10% who are aspiring to become one themselves? Besides, we're all into idols now..... 
..even bioforum designated a separate/distinguished Mt. Olympus lounge just for them... where they can peer down on us...

nice to see you back in action pernesebleu....sooo are you halfway up Mt. Olympus?
having some thoughts whether or not climbing Mt. Olympus is worth the effort.
...whereas pI stands for isoelectric point. It is the pH at which a protein carries no net electrical charge.

Having third thoughts already pernese
….I’m sure you’ve done the cost analysis so why wouldn’t it be worth the effort? Most goals are, aren’t they? Just think about it…your very own fiefdom or if you want to continue being idealistic about it- how about having the opportunity to make a difference or leave your own mark or realize your own potential (plus all the other clichés you can think of)? Perhaps we should have some PIs here who can shed light on how it feels to peer down from Mt Olympus… 
Btw…..what exactly is this lounge for? A place where the PIs vegetate until they mold or or is this the place where they get bashed?
