Finally watched pi (the movie). Would you believe that the value of pi =
that they print in the beginning is only accurate to the first nine =
digits, with all the rest apparently being made up? sigh.

They have 3.1415926526124... and further nonesense.

Everything else in the movie, one could write off to artistic license, =
but this is just sloppiness.

Well, it's still worth watching.

BTW has anyone here read Updike's _Roger's Version_?
