In 24 hours I'll be on my way to the airport going back home! In the mean time here's something I found interesting enough to put it up on a post.
Apparently a popular way to memorize pi is to memorize a poem or story where each word represents a digit of pi through the number of letters it contains. A popular piece is titled Cadaeic Cadenza, whose title itself comes from the digits of pi in a different manner - by assigning A to 1, B to 2, etc.
The poem begins: "One / A poem / A Raven / Midnights so dreary, tired and weary", and the length of the words are, in order, 3,1,4,1,5,9,2,6,5,3,3. Sometime words longer than 9 letters are used to represent two consecutive digits, too.
