Interesting... while in high school I learned that every time you smoked a joint, pi would lose a digit.

Or maybe it was everytime you cut down a tree in the rain forest.

Now I'm confused.

Sung to the tune of "867-5309 Jenny" (which you all know well):

Pi's a sequence I can remember
Cause it's not your average number
It's the greatest number that I know
It's somewhere between 3 and 4

Pi's an irrational number
I've got it memorized
I can recite that number...


Three point one four one five ni-ee-yine!
(Three point one four one five ni-ee-yine!)
Three point one four one five ni-ee-yine!
(Three point one four one five ni-ee-yine!)
I'm learning more and more digits daily
I'll know a million by next Thursday
I forgot how to eat, I forgot how to drive
Because my brain is filled with digits of pi


Pi's an irrational number
I've got it memorized
I can recite that number...


Three point one four one five ni-ee-yine!
(Three point one four one five ni-ee-yine!)
Three point one four one five ni-ee-yine!
(Three point one four one five ni-ee-yine!)


I got it! (got it) I got it!
Don't need the poster on the wall
I got it! (got it) I got it!
If I had time, I'd memorize them all!


Pi's an irrational number
I've got it memorized
I can recite that number...


Three point one four one five ni-ee-yine!
(Three point one four one five ni-ee-yine!)
Three point one four one five ni-ee-yine!
(Three point one four one five ni-ee-yine!)...

I remember an episode of ST (TOS) 'Wolf In The Fold' where the evil spirit entity of Jack The Ripper 'Redjac' had hijacked the computer of USS Enterprise.

Spock using his tactical logic, helped purge the spirit by ordering the computer to process TO THE LAST DIGIT the value of
