"'Tis a favourite project of mine
A new value of pi to assign.
I would fix it at 3
For it's simpler, you see,
Than 3 point 1 4 1 5 9."
- Harvey L. Carter

See http://people.bath.ac.uk/mss20/quotes.htm for a few other quotes
about PI.

Another numerical curiosity than I learned from the great Martin
Gardener's character Incredible Dr. Matrix in his old Scientific
American column back in the 60's, if you take the simple-to-remember
number 113355 and divide the first 3 numbers into the second 3 numbers
you get a very good approximation of PI...

A short mnemonic for remembering the first seven decimal digits of PI
is "How I wish I could calculate pi". Simply add the number of letters
in each of the 7 words to get those 7 numbers...
