in reply to the secret of PI

Using my my infinite precision PI calculator and your piece of code I produced this :

Notice how PI is the number of the geeks and kids...
(Tell me if you SEE other things or if you find something in the followings digits...)

UPDATE : As soon as I'll got time I'll try to code something to produce a wider set of char with the PI digits...
We may get even more interesting results...

    If you want to produce strings from numbers, I suggest my Math::Fleximal. Converting your number above to base 26 I get:

    Of course you will not hit many words there. But if you pass the input in as data for various "random text" algorithms you might even get out something interesting.

      Using your excellent Math::Fleximal and a conversion of the 5000 first digits '0'..'9'->'a'..'z'
      I got several words (by matching them with my /usr/dict/words file)
      If I keep only the words with more than 3 char, I got :

      'buys'
      'coin'
      'dull'
      'fats'
      'feet'
      'pots'
      'test'
      'tint'
      'warn'
      'warp'
      'went'

      And last but not the least 'monk' !

        Out of interest, how many digits are required to generate "perl"?

        John.

    Let's see, in this set I see 'kde', 'midi', 'die', 'leg', 'fed', 'feed', 'egg', 'heh', and 'deem'. Make of it what you will :)
    Update: Upon another look, I also see 'keg', 'lid', 'fee', 'gig', 'gif', 'dig', 'film', 'hill', 'hid', 'DJ', 'led', 'hem', and 'gem'.
