As long as you don't work out the sequence and what it means...

You know..... if you squint your eyes and scroll through that at just the right speed you see and interesting visual pattern apears.
It is a totaly usless patern and doesn't look like anything in particular at all but it is interesting none the less...

Hey, wouldn't it be cool if the binary representation of pi, when arranged with the right number of digits on each line (although it would be better if you used black and white dots instead of digits), formed a picture? Especially if it was a picture of a circle, or the number '42' in large stylised letters.
Who knows, maybe if you give each decimal digit a colour it would resemble some other important shape, like the mandelbrot set or something.
To save space in my memory and yet still have an infinite string of uninteresting numbers to recite, I think I'll go around quoting the first few hundred digits of 12345/99990.
And that concludes my 300th forum post.

I've noticed the visual scrolling thing too... I'm sure I can see a face in there.

And some sort of demon thing.
This is great!

Demon's don't look anywhere near me. Anyway it looks nothing like a slice of toast.

No mention of ice cream or whipped cream?

Something in base 30 to appeal to you:
(16*PI+16+5/8)^5 with whole part ending in PI and sum of numerator and denominator's digits equaling 16 (mind you that's really 36 to us) is unique for power 5 on a question derived from a relationship involving (365+1/4)^4, but it's actually too complicated to explain right now. Tasty?
