PI

I blame it on being surrounded by engineers 2/3s of my waking day - I’m totally nerding out! Strangely I’m becoming more geeky than my peers though - there’s a question for another day. First it was an interest in learning how solve the rubik’s cube, well over 25 years after owning my first cube. And now, for some reason I have decided to memorize pi. Well, at least the first part of it. I think I have the first 16 digits memorized. And I think that’s enough. Large enough to be impressive but small enough not to take up other valuable real estate up there in the old noggin. Why possibly would I want to do this? I have no idea. I am complete rubbish at memorizing. And I can’t even remember the last time I used pi. Just go with it I tell myself… (as she becomes more eccentric).

BTW, did you know that “nerd” most likely was invented by Dr. Seuss? "A nerkle, a nerd, and a seersucker too!".

BTW, did you know you can find your birthday in pi? Mine is only 68,554 digits into the number. My brother's doesn't show up until way after 920,000 digits. Just saying.
