David,
It's interesting how people are fascinated by irrational numbers, like Pi.
It baffles me personally, that a number that represents a linear distance which has a specific beginning and a specific ending is a non-repeating and a non-terminating number!
Although we go to great lengths to calculate Pi out to all the digits, the PRACTICAL value of Pi for anything in the known universe needs only 39 digits, which would represent the Pi value for the circumference of the nucleus of a Hydrogen atom.
