Likewise; whenever anyone asks why my memory is so bad, I tell them I
already used it up with pi. (And statments like "the diffusional rate of a
gas is inverstly proportional to the square root of its density" or "a
relation is a subset of the extended Cartesian product of the domains of its
attributes". And the op-code for RTS in 6502 machine code - in hex and
decimal. Man, I need a life...)

I know (or rather, have on file) a rather neat algorithm for calculating
pi... used it to write a program which could find hundreds of digits fairly
fast... hmmm...
