A shot of my truck's odometer on Saturday. http://users.wirelessbeehive.com/~paw/temp/automotivepi.jpg Like I say, Automotive Pi (actually I was initially going to post it as "Bye, Bye, My Automotive Pi" but I'm not sure if the younguns on the list would understand). :) patrick
This is exactly why I love this group. How many people in the world would stop to take a photo of six digits of Pi? Answer... not many! Only a true science geek would be watching the odometer, anxiously waiting for such an event. My compliments on an active mind Patrick... and a long-lived truck!!

Not to take anything away from Patrick's pic, but it's been done. I've seen Pi on the odometer on one of the sports-car forums I belong to, a couple of times. They have a thread called "Stupid Odometer Tricks", for just this type of thing. I've also seen 271828 posted a few times.
Many fewer would recognize that number.

Lol, YOU did, Brent! I was amazed at the number of engineers- of all specialties- on the RX-8 forums. There is an incredible amount of techie banter going on there. Too, you see 80085 posted quite a lot on the odometer thread, so the 12-year-old mentality is still alive and well. On Mon, May 20, 2013 at 12:54 PM, Brent Watson <brentjwatson@yahoo.com>wrote:

It would be natural to not recognize that number especially if you happen to trip over a log which would through your rhythm off. :) Mat -----Original Message----- From: utah-astronomy-bounces@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:utah-astronomy-bounces@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Brent Watson Sent: Monday, May 20, 2013 2:55 PM To: Utah Astronomy Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] Automotive Pi Many fewer would recognize that number.

Ha! GEEK_POD. I like it. I was thinking there might be an MPOD (Math Picture Of the Day). Well there is one but it stands for Make Plays Or Die. patrick On 20 May 2013, at 12:14, Tyler Allred wrote:
