    I can't believe people actually modded that lame joke as funny.

    I had once formulated a somewhat bizarre proof that showed that the "infitieth" digit of pi was 5, based on the distribution of digits among fractions with non-terminating decimal representations.

    I once made up some bullshit, too.
    I got modded +5, insightful. Good luck on that.
