you. I've only heard the first 20 or so digits, but perhaps the more
adventurous reader will find out more. The number is 253 243-2504. Call it if
you are ever in need of some .
Of course, I can't leave off on just that - I should at least mention two other
great -day attractions (late as they are). Firstly, any unfamiliar with
the movement should read

video. I also think it's far more natural to relate the radius to the
circumference rather than the diameter to the circumference (but it would mean
that area becomes not as pleasant as ).
Finally, there is a great musical interpretation and celebration of . What if
you did a round (or fugue) based on interpreting each digit of as a
different musical note? Well, now you can find out!
Until day!
