memorize the first 430 digits of pi, utilizing an anagram of the word "marmotry"

This is a bit tangential, but the movie Pi is incredible, and I wholeheartedly recommend it.

Also, in Greek, the letter pi is pronounced “pee.” (Hee hee, I said pee!!!)

I’m realizing that it’s more fun to think about this goal than to actually complete it.

“Now I will a rhyme construct,
By chosen words, the young instruct.
Cunningly devised endeavor,
Con it. And remember ever.
Widths in circle here you see,
Sketched out in strange obscurity.”

Count the number of letters in each word to find each digit.

The same blog, Confusability, mentions that Carl Sagan wrote about the possibility of finding a fingerprint of God in a version of pi.

I’ve been listening to Kate Bush’s cool song Pi, in which most of the song is Kate reciting the digits of Pi. However, I just read someone’s blog that claims that Kate is singing Pi incorrectly.

Here are the reported digits of real Pi:
3.1415926535 8979323846 2643383279 5028841971 693993751 05820974944 5923078164 0628620899 8628034825 3421170679 8214808651 3282306647 0938446095 5058223172 5359408128

Here is what Kate is reportedly singing:
3.1415926535 8979323846 2643383279 5028841971 6939937510 58231974944 5923078164 06286208
8214808651 3282306647 0938446095 5058223

I have verified none of this myself.

Here’s the trick:
“How I need a drink, alcoholic of course, after the heavy chapters involving quantum mechanics.”

This is a mnemonic for the first fifteen digits of pi. The number of letters in each word represents that particular digit of pi.
