Diff Eq sucks man.
Anyways, for any other nerd-asses out there, here's a history of Pi. It's really interesting how the ancient people figured it out.

PS people, it's known up to 206,158,430,000 decimal places.

Tricky, your sig is awesome. Speaking of the government, I saw this bumper sticker today on the back of this Fx4 F-150 that said: "Governments motto: if it aint broke, fix it till it is." I almost got in a wreck i was laughing so hard.

actually adam, my calculator goes to 3.14159265 but then it says 4 because its 3.1415926535 and it rounds the 5 up.
i use pi on the calculator too. its more accurate and all it is is [2nd][^] so its pretty much faster than going 3.14
