these are the first 1000 digits...

50 million digits of pi takes up 50 megabytes.

Need more? (Where can I get so much Pi?) http://www.angio.net/pi/piquery#find

But what i really wanted to show you is PiCalc: (The Pi-Search Page)

quote:

"You can blame it all on The Useless Web Pages Pages and Arthur Bebak who suggested the idea in the first place, in about 1996ish. The original suggestion was to find your birthday in Pi, but things just kept getting out of hand. The original pi searcher featured 1.25 million digits, but was upgraded in 1998 to 50 million, and in 2001 to 100 million digits to keep up with the times. Over time, the Pi Searcher has proven both exceptionally useless (see the comments below) and occasionally, useful to math classes and the like."
