Antedating of "cutie pie"

[Baker, John]

Do people still ask that classic question:  B4i4Q(ru/18)qtπ?

The first 4 is supposed to be a subscript and ru/18 constitutes a fraction in which ru is the numerator and 18 is the denominator, but I think the formatting would have been lost by ADS-L if I had tried to do that.

For years now, I've been writing it as <<QT[pi]>>, as in <<OICURA QT[pi]>>.
Kept the EFL studes in stitches. Make 'em laff ...
