I would just like it to be known that the reason I know 40 digits by heart is not because I thought it would be useful, but to annoy my father who had a mnemonic to remember 30 digits.

@zkarj In 1971 I got a copy of the Chemical Rubber Company’s book of mathematical tables. It listed the value of pi to 50 decimal places. In my boring English class I memorized the whole thing. Somehow I still remember a mere 10 decimal places even though I never need to use it now.

@TWSheppard I can not only recite 40 decimal places of pi, I can also recite the new emergency number from The IT Crowd. In song.
