GREETINGS PI FAN!
May I have a large container of coffee?
As you know, the above sentence gives, by counting the number
of letters in each word, the first eight digits of the number pi
(3.1415926).
I have just finished composing a short story that sets a new
world record for the length of a pi mnemonic: 3835 decimals!
Check it out, at

You may recognize the first section, a pi-digits version of
Edgar Allen Poe's "The Raven" that I wrote about a year ago.
The story takes off from there, in a somewhat science-fictiony
vein.
Enjoy, and let me know what you think!
