Hooray! It's pi(e) day!

     Sorry everybody but I completely forgot to rmind you yesterday that today is PI(e) day! If you don't already get where this comes from it's because today is March fourteenth. 3/14 which if you make into a decimal is 3.14 and therefore today is PI(e) day. The reason I keep adding an e is because the proper way to celebrate PI day is to make a pie. I celebrated by making a pizza pie for dinner. Either way, in celebration of this momentos holiday I give you: A bunch of digits of PI!

     On a side note I working with my current webhost to get scuzzstuff.org up and running, but they seem to have a $20 fee for "pointer domains" so I'm asking them why they charge $20 for what is only a few lines of code. So far the answer I've gotten seems to be: "Well most people don't know how little effort it takes and so they pay it gladly!" So what about the people who DO know how little effort it takes? Not really fair and just to charge them too is it? I mean it costs me four times as much to buy the "pointer domain" configuration from powweb then it does to buy the actual domain name! That's like someone selling you a bike for $50 and then saying that the wheels are $200 and don't come with the bike.

Psssh! I beat that EASY. I've had the first 10,000,001 digits of PI up on my site for a year now! Check it out! http://games.kitkorp.com/pi.txt
Warning! That is a 9meg file! Takes a while to download and is so large that it crashes both IE, FireFox, Notepad, and Wordpad. The best way to view this is to download it and open it in microsoft word or another document handling program.

Huh--Apu was right on the Simpsons. The "last" digit of pi is 1. He says in one episode that he can recite pi to 1 million places and ends w/ one. That is cool. And, here's the obligatory Professor Frink quote:

"Hey, peoples, I, uh--people, hey! Is anyone listening to me? Sigh...I hoped I didn't have to resort to this: PI IS EXACTLY 3!"
(*deathly silence*)
