Fact: The first 144 digits of pi add up to 666.
Corollary to fact: 144 also equals (6+6)x(6+6)

Fact: The sequence "123456789" does not appear in pi until the 523,551,502nd digit.

Fact: Calculating pi to 100 digits using the Gregory-Leibniz series would require a person to calculate more terms than there are particles in the universe.

Fact: The 359th digit of pi is 3, the 360th 6 and the 361st 0. Thus, the number 360 (the amount of degrees in a circle) is "centered" at the 360th digit.

Fact: Within the first million digits of pi are contained seven-digit-long runs of numbers for every number aside from two and four.

Fact: A person's hat size can be determined by taking the circumference of the head (in inches), dividing by pi and rounding to the nearest eight of an inch.

Fact: The height of an elephant is 2 x pi x the diameter of its foot.

Fact: The official football cheer for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is:
"e to the u du/dx
e to the x
cosine, secant, tangent, sine,
3.14159
integral, radical, u dv
slipstick, slide rule, MIT!"

Fact: Statistically, someone within 200 miles of your town claims to have had direct contact with a monster, ghost, or any unexplainable being.

Fact: Most ghosts appear within 6 feet of people. If you try to touch them, talk to them, or turn on a light, they disappear.

Fact: Most ghosts appear for less then a minute, often less then 15 seconds.

Fact: Most ghost sightings take place at midnight or between 4 a.m. and 6 a.m. Ghosts are usually seen inside houses--and the most frequently haunted part of the house is the staircase.

Fact: Someone on Earth reports seeing a UFO every 3 minutes. In the US, reported sightings are most likely to occur at 9 PM or 3 AM in July.

Fact: Since 1954, more than 50 ships and aircrafts have disappeared inside the Bermuda Triangle.

Fact: Half the photos of UFOs turn out to be Venus; another 30% are airplanes, and most of the rest are stars or streetlights. Only 3 of 100 UFOs are real UFOs.
Who sleeps shall awake, greeting the shadows from the sun
Who sleeps shall awake, looking through the window of our lives
Waiting for the moment to arrive...
Show us the silence in the rise,
So that we may someday understand...

Fiber optic strands make great things to poke people's ears with, and when they burn they drip black goo and leave feathery black things floating in the air. Until they fall to the ground, where they stick

Breaking apart electric lighters gives you a small little shocker, while doing the same with an electric camera with flash gives you a more potent version...the current from the small one can make sensitive people go into shocks, so maybe shocking random people won't be a good idea; the current from some cameras can be dangerous, don't blame me if you manage to electrocute yourself :x

#definecynical needs more people, anyone else confirm this?

I never got a birthday thread, so I demand my cake here :P
