The true explanation for the phone number 8675309 is not (7^(e - 1/e) -
9)*Pi^2, but that it is a lesser of twin primes which has 7 distinct
digits, which is also a prime-indexed prime, a prime of the form 4p+1 with
p being a prime, prime p such that 2p+3 is also a prime, and an hypotenuse
of a primitive pythagorean triple.
