for people who like Pi:

Sweet. But then again Pi's not my thing. I'm a Googleplex man all the way!

DC:
Pi is 3 for large values of 3.

Any number of digits for pi after the first 20 or so are useless except for giggle factors and computation tests. Pi is trancendental anyway, so there is no way to get the "right" value (in digits). Ever. Not with quantum computing, no. And I know of no universal constant measured with more than 20 significant digits - damn, with 10 even - so it's useless for calculations to use more (you could probably last your lifetime with 3.14).

Besides, Pi is waaaay less interesting then people think. Euler's number, now THERE is an interesting number. Based on some stupid differential equation (f'(x) = f(x)), it pops up everywhere. And it is more usefull than pi. Maybe it should get a greek symbol. Any suggestions?

AAAGGHH!!! MY HEAD!! What are you talking about??!!

Calum:
that's one boring fuck of a site, even if it is an original idea. not the sort of url you can easily remember either. to me pi will never need to be longer than 3.141592654 because tha's how long it is on a ten digit calculator.
