Man recites pi from memory to 83,431 places

I guess he's got to keep his mind on something while listening to those boring psychiatric patients.
 
Wow, if I ever need to get to sleep in a hurry, I'll just listen to a recording of it, if one is avaliable.

I saw the article about that guy on /. a couple of days ago.
 
I bet he is an excellent driver, an excellent driver....

Oh no... four minutes to Wopner, four minutes to Wopner....

Kmart Sucks!!
 
The #1 Guy I don't want to play Memory or Poker with.

Heck, I can't even remember my own phone number. I mean, honestly, how often do you call yourself?

Can we assume you've been featured in the national news?

I imagine this person will get a ton of consulting work out of this achievement in mathematics and/or scientific fields, if he already hasn't. I bet he is raking in the cash. Memorizing a string of numbers is an accomplishment. Gimmicky? Of course it is. But, so are many marketing strategies. That's why they work. This appears to be an effective method to getting his name "out there." Perhaps the specific way he did seems a little kooky since we're not pursuing work in his particular industry, but you have to admit, being featured on MSNBC is a credential all of us drool over. See, there is value in doing that...
