Pasting for calculator Pi oddity

An interesting observation in that apparently if you have URL text data in your clipboard buffer, and you paste into Vista’s Windows Calculator (calc.exe) it pastes as pi?
If I copy the text "http://thisisnotpi.com" and paste it into calc.exe you get pi:
If you have "This is Not Pi" in your buffer and paste it in, you get "Invalid input for function":
Useless oddity, but just an accidental mis-pasting of what I thought was last in the buffer

Interesting. I played with this, and apparently the letter "p" is a shortcut for pi. You can either paste a string with "p" in it, or type "p" on the keyboard, and you get pi.
