With a computer program, put a circle inside of a square.  Then randomly generate points inside of the square.  The number of points inside of the circle will be proportional to the points inside of the square by a factor of pi.

Pi calculations...  I don't know how old this message is, I came here by google search... but anyways, I'll make a stop.

pi/4 = 1 - 1/3 + 1/5 - 1/7 + 1/9 - 1/11...

i always wondered the same thing about calculating pi.  i never got any satisfying answers... and none of these seem really that great either.  i personally think the best way to describe it is how they talk about it on www.howstuffworks.com
he explains that you divide the circumference of a circle by it's diameter.  if you measured the circle correctly you should always get pi.

PI = Sigma from n=0 to Infinity (4/8n+1  -  2/8n+4  -  1/8n+5  -  1/8n+6)(1/16)^n  

n = the value that you are currently using, starting from 0 and then going on until the end of time I suppose.

An easy to remember approximation for pi is  22/7
Not overly accurate but useful enough for a quick estimation

You say:

"three. I need a drink alcoholic of course"

then write down the 3. and then write down the number corresponding to the number of letters in each following word and you have pie to seven places.

You divide the circumference (length around the circle) of the circle by the diameter (width of circle), your answer should be pi (3.14)

This formula is completely accurate, and the calculation is quite simple to use.

pi/4 = 4*arctan(1/5)-arctan(1/239)

*) arctan = inverted tanges aka tan^-1
