Can't remember who it is a quote from..

But its worthy of a discussion methinks

Jaques Keroac (I know that's spelt wrong). I know this because the Manic street preachers had it on the back of one of their t-shirts

Never read any of his stuff - someone told me a bit about it and it all seemed a bit much for me

I would love to know more...

All the best!

I thought it was someone who spelt their name with a K, but I'm not sure, I think I first saw it on a t-shirt also, but it's been in my head for so long now

I'll take WWM's opinion and not buy the book though.

ahh now in all fairness, read it and make up your own mind, but get it from a library or a friend or something. im just not into the whole pop culture thing. unless its pop science or maths or something which i do find interesting.
but all this first person life changing stuff is for the birds. grand daddy of em all imho is catcher in the rye. a classic book appaerntly but goddamn it i hated holden caufield. christ what a moany jumped up little annoying boy he was. grrr, even thinking about it annoys me

er, so yeah, thats my opinion on pop culture!

You'd love PI the restaraunt in Cork then, 300 odd digits of Pi on the windows, pity about the food....

PI has been calculated to something like 14 billion decimal places, though that was about four years back.

Interestingly there is no pattern emerges with he entire number after the decimal. Mathamatically that is very rare. Some say impossible, the perfect random number.

I am sure it it not interesting to read but beats Karuwac (hippy twat and fraud extradinaire).

Its the same ith all non-constructable numbers to the best of my knowledge, e for example.
