As a self confessed pi nut I shall pass on three pieces of trivia. First, I can recite it to 250 decimal places. Not earth shattering but a cool party trick.
Second, many years ago I wrote a program to work it out to a million places, printed it out and had it professionally bound. It sits on my bookshelf to this day. Third, and most interestingly, I discovered that if you skip the first 242420 digits of pi, the following digits appear: 2424242420. I find this fascinating because being an irrational number any sequence of digits ultimately appear somewhere, but that this sequence appears at this spot is very interesting. Maybe. I have time displayed at home to the nearest millisecond so I will celebrate it at 2009-03-14 1:59:26.535 Photographing it would be tricky though...
