today is pi day!
just for those dumb idiots who dont know what pi is... pi ish ze magical infinite number that is found by dividing the circumfrence of any circle in the world by the diameter. pi is endless. here are some awesomer facts about pi:
The sequence of digits in Pi so far passed all known tests for randomness.
Most people would say that a circle has no corners, but it is more accurate to say that it has an infinite number of corners.
In 1991, the Chudnovsky brothers in New York, using their computer, m zero, calculated pi to two billion two hundred sixty million three hundred twenty one thousand three hundred sixty three digits (2, 260, 321, 363). They halted the program that summer.
In 2004, a man named Daniel Tammet recited 22,514 digits of pi from memory.
The Pi memory champion is Hiroyoki Gotu, who memorised an amasing 42,000 digits.
If a billion decimals of pi were printed in ordinary type, they would stretch from New York City, to the middle of Kansas.
The square root of 9.869604401 is approximately Pi.
In pi, every phone number in the world is in there somewhere.
If all the numbers were converted into letters, every book in the world could be written as many times as you wanted, and still have plently letters left over.
