Mathematical Consideration

You've probably all been wondering at the paucity of mathematics related posts on this site. The truth is it's not a subject in which I have any real aptitude, and perhaps by extension, interest. However, I feel I should redress the balance a little, and with that in mind I've chosen to post the first thousand digits of the mystical phenomenon that is Pi. I'd like to point out the fourteenth and nineteenth lines of the sequence, which are particularly fine. Enjoy.

You're clearly very intelligent. I'll check back often.

The Viking has actually (apparently inadvertently) memorised pi to several thousand decimal points. When drunk he tends to recite it in a melancholy monotone. The Viking is a fascist.

Kate Bush also has a song about it on her recentish album Aerial. Kate Bush is a crypto-fascist.

The Viking sounds a great drinking partner.

Unfortunately he tends to become homosexual when drunk, and is rather dangerously lecherous. This is retrospectively amusing, given that he's a Puritanical Fundamentalist Christian, but at the time it can be a little unnerving.
