    Not bad, not bad. I even forgot your mother's name the other night...

    pi ~ 3.1415926535897932384626...

    I got bored in 6th grade, and conveniently enough, my teacher had it posted along the upper wall of the classroom out to like 50 digits. This is all I remember. 1000 is WAY different.

    I once memorized the first 25 digits for a pi party. This guy had a system in which you were able to learn it in less than 5 minutes. Something like:
    start with 3.14
    after the number 14 comes 15
    after that 4+5=9
    ...
    The party wasn't worth it though. We stayed approximately pi^2 minutes. Oh, and I don't remember the number now.

    Do you realize that you've just posted an admission of ignorance so breathtaking that it disqualifies you from commenting on any political or economic threads from here on out?
