ok..

If you're ready for the twilight zone, check this out:

guy who figured out pi:
http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~...Lindemann.html

guy you claim couldn't figure out pi:
http://www.roblindman.com/

Now, as for PI, I can tell you HOW to calculate all of it, but I cannot
actually calculate all of it, because I don't have a fast enough computer,
and an infinite amount of time.

You see, if PI is non-repeating and infinitely long, then you can compute it
by specifying all given series for all different lengths of numbers. If you
calculate every possible series of numbers, it occurs somewhere within PI.
Now, the trick is, figuring out all of those series, and the other trick is,
figuring out where in the sequence it is. But, it can be done.

Ergo, old Ferdinand was right and wrong... PI ceases to be transcendental
when you realize it's just a number.

You're just a number.

> You're just a number.

I take my card and I stand in line
To make a buck I work overtime
Dear Sir letters keep coming in the mail
I work my back till it's racked with pain
The boss can't even recall my name
I show up late and I'm docked
It never fails
I feel like just another
Spoke in a great big wheel
Like a tiny blade of grass
In a great big field
To workers I'm just another drone
To Ma Bell I'm just another phone
I'm just another statistic on a sheet
To teachers I'm just another child
To IRS I'm just another file
I'm just another consensus on the street
Gonna cruise out of this city
Head down to the sea
Gonna shout out at the ocean
Hey it's me
And I feel like a number
Feel like a number
Feel like a stranger
A stranger in this land
I feel like a number
I'm not a number
I'm not a number
Dammit I'm a man
I said I'm a man
