I'll start with the first 10 digits of pi.

Everyone reply by copying my post, except adding up to 5 more digits of pi. Lets see how far we can get.

This will get hard. At least tell what digit you're on, like this:

You know what would be nice? If instead of just searching it, and then copying and pasting, we saw how much people can do from memory. F'r instance, this is all I know by heart:

What is the point? I mean, so y'all can memorize a number. Great for you. As Mr. Williams sometimes says, memorization is the lowest form of intelligence. I understand the significance of pi, no doubt, but not the significance of memorizing great quantities of it.

Umm..."great quantities of"? Don't you think you need to finish that sentence?
