Now that's a big pi...

Computer Scientist Sets New Record For Calculating Pi

"Computer scientist Fabrice Bellard said he has computed the mathematical constant pi to nearly 2.7 trillion digits, some 123 billion more than the previous record, BBC News reported.

Bellard used a desktop computer to perform the calculation, taking a total of 131 days to complete and check the result. He said his version of pi takes over a terabyte of hard disk space to store."

That's quite the accomplishment, but it seems like a terrible waste of a terabyte of hard disk space to me.
