Oh man, oh man. I can't believe the level of my geekiness sometimes, but
I have to share this. Pi seems to have so many numerical combinations
contained in its string of numbers. For example, My birthday,
*07171982*, was found at position 116,728,043 counting from the first
digit after the decimal point. My zipcode, *63146*, was found at
position 135,918 counting from the first digit after the decimal point.
My street address, *12394*, was found at position 8,831 counting from
the first digit after the decimal point. Want to search some of your
numbers? Check out [[http://www.angio.net/pi/piquery][the site]]. Also,
there are some interesting analyses and fun facts concerning Pi and its
value. /*Update*/: As tomorrow is World Pi Day, I thought I'd add an
article or two covering various parts of Pi, like its
[[http://news.independent.co.uk/world/science_technology/article350972.ece][history]]
and [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi][general background]]. Happy
reading and happy Pi Day.
