I could tell. Most people don't measure their memory in kilobytes. Well, except for calc programmers.

lol, that was a joke - who could seriously remember 10,000 digits of pi!?
The world record is 83,431...

lol, thats just how little mem it took - i could up it to like 1,000,000 decimal places - thats about 5 seconds to generate, and takes way more than 990kb

Hehe, I hope to learn enough for Pi Day.
All I know is what my calc has built in.

9 years from now you're not going to remember you posted this, and it's gonna be like any other regular day. Uneventful and plain. Unless if you make some incredible discovery, it's your birthday, wedding day/anniversary, have a son/daughter, etc. Really people, pi is just another number. It's only the ratio of a circumference to a diameter. You don't see people celebrating "speed of light number day" or "byte day" or even "zero day" do you? Pi is no more special than any other number.
I would celebrate zero day if I could, but the year starts with the FIRST day of the year.
O,o March 14 is the 73rd day of the year! As in TI-73, the one with the number that's just out there.

People still celebrate St Valentines Day, St Patrick's Day, etc, even though the calendar is based on numbers and the names January, February, etc. Zero is used in way more places than Pi anyways. In fact, Pi couldn't be discovered if zero wasn't discovered. Humanity's knowledge of Pi was dependent on humanity's knowledge of zero. But the reality is they are all just numbers! Why don't we celebrate "scoial security number day" huh? It's a number so it should be celebrated just as Pi day is!

Unfortunately, the leap year messes with it sometimes...

You don't get it. PI is more than a number. It is a way that fellow "geeks" so to speak, can Identify themselves. The fact that it is irrational makes it intriguing and challenging. It can be used as a way to judge geekiness, by seeing how many digits you can memorize. You see, pi is more than just a number, its a symbol by which a group of people identifies themselves. March 14 is more of a day to celebrate these people and this subject of math, than a day to celebrate an irrational mathematical constant in and of itself.
Edit: John, he couldn't understand why you were defending foamy because your message sounded like he had attacked you. Which, actually, by attacking PI he was vicariously attacking us all. I guess some people just don't understand...
