I was rolling through the new researchers list when I spotted your nickname, and had to smile Nice idea, where did you get the inspiration for using that?
As regards to the 'all your base are belong to us' scene... Well, it annoys me, but then, I constantly say annoying things to people, so I have no right to complain. But... You say it to telemarketers??

well I got the idea to use Pi as a nickname when I got tired of imamacaddict and I had memorized five digits of (you guessed it) Pi. I also see 314, 3.14, or 3141 in totally random places, like in the middle of serial numbers, or I'll look up at the clock for no reason and it'll be 3:14 PM on March 14 (3/14/2001).
And YES, i do say AYBABTU to telemarketers. They usually splutter back: "All my bases are yours?" I repeat it and they start to get it right: "All my base are belonging to us?". I then tell them DON"T CALL AGAIN. ([url removed by moderator] for some other funny ones. ayb is mine, but it's not posted on their tormenting page.)

[Pi all over the place!]
Hmm... Well, I prefer spotting 42 all over the place myself.
[Telemarketers, ayb]
And do they call again?
...I want to get called by more telemarketrs now, so I can try that out.

That did make me think, though... How would you know if they did call back? It might be the same organisation, but a different person...

Heh, telemarketers always were illogical. Living in England, I don't get as many of them as Americans seem to, however, so.
