Some savants can do this off the top of their heads. Now don't be modest, John - did you clip this or just dash it off?

This is Pi A La Mode.

Ah, you got me bang to rights. It's funny but I can't remember my own own phone number - but this? any time.

I find it unnerving to see it written out

That 1000 character clipping limit really hurts the integrity of the clip here. ;D

In looking at the source page I have to say that I find it a bit confusing. It looks as though it should be read as 5 columns, top to bottom of column 1, then 2, then 3, and so forth. Thing is, it ends in the middle of a line at the end of column two. Does this mean that it is actually a long line across each column, then moving on to the second line across each column?

A new value of Pi to assign

For it's simpler you see
Than 3.14159...

BBC radio programme all about Pi (they have programmes on other great numbers at the same link )

I find the visual oddly pleasing .
come to think of it, its hopeful that we can express a concept in such high resolution and know we haven't reached a final destination of that resolution, and at the same time, we can have a grasp of same concept on a level that bothers not with resolution at all.

I just want to know what happens next.
