and pleasure for an instant, miserably brief.

Subject: Pi mnemonic
(...)
I and some friends have come up with an English version.
A common English version of 3.14159265358979 already
exists, but we built off of that. We now have 167 digits.
By the way, the reference to "valuable wood" is a reference
to Monte-Carlo estimations of the value of pi, which consist
of throwing toothpicks onto a paper with evenly spaced lines.
(The propbability of the stick hitting a line is related to pi, so
that estimating the probability of hitting the line by observing
the frequency allows you to estimate pi.)
How I need a drink, alcoholic of course, after the tough
lectures involving quantum mechanics, but we did estimate
some digits by making very bad, not accurate, but so greatly
efficient tools!
By dropping valuable wood, a dedicated student -- I, Volokh,
Alexander, can determine beautiful and curious stuff, O!
Smart, gorgeous me!
Descartes himself knew wonderful ways that could ascertain it too!
Revered, glorious -- a wicked dude!
Behold an unending number -- pi!
Thinkers' ceaseless agonizing produces little, if anything.
For this constant, it stops not -- just as e, I suppose.
Vainly ancient geometers computed it -- a task undoable.
Legendre, Adrien Marie: "I say pi rational is not!"
Adrien proved this theorem.
Therefore, the doubters have made errors.
(Everybody that's Greek.)
Today, counting is as bad a problem as years ago, maybe centuries even.
Moreover, I do consider that variable x, y, z, wouldn't much avail.
Pi, imaginary, like i?
No, buffoon!
(Note: Insert a 0 after the end of each sentence.)
