This man can tell you exactly how big your circle is.

It's before sunrise in an academic hall in Chiba, and a plain old Japanese man is speaking. Except he's not speaking words,he's speaking numbers. 3.141592653589793238462643383279502884 1971693993751058209749445923078164062862089 9862803 482534211706798214808651328230664709384460 95505822317253594081284811174502 84102701938521105 5596446229489549303819644288109756659334461284756 482337867831652 71201909145648566923460348610 454326648213393607260249141273724587006606315588 1748 8152092096282925 40917153643678925903600113305305488204665 21384146951941511609... says Mr. Haraguchi. And he's been saying shit like this for over 16 hours straight. By reciting 100,000 digits of pi, the 60-year old broke the previous world record (also held by himself) and hopes to be in the Guinness Book. For his outstanding efforts, I'm giving Mr. Haraguchi the Adorable Dork of the Day award--just in case he doesn't make it in to the Book.
