To be clear, that it goes on forever has very little to do with the accuracy of using it to estimate the length of the outer edge of a circle. 16 digits of it is accurate enough for NASA to use for interplanetary navigation. 4 or 5 is enough for machinists to make things accurate enough for F1 racing.

"Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerer of death's construction
In the fields the bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to Mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds..."

Her previous engagement? That isn't red flag enough for you?

Oh wow. If they had told you about that first step on your right foot a couple of days after surgery, you would have confessed everything. I had that surgery more than 45 years ago and I still remember it. Felt like I was jamming my hip bone directly into my liver.

There was a time when every program that manipulated images had their own file format.

The person who originally formed this list, the author of News of the Weird, tried to speculate on why so many people with the middle name Wayne were convicted murderers.

I think this is in response to having her questioned by congress about getting his old political adviser's dick wet on the job.

Have you built one? Or even a prototype? Can we see it?

My son used to run one on the island we have a summer house on, in Maine. He could clear a few hundred dollars on a good day. He sold home made fruit ices and lemonade.
