LibriVox is otherwise pretty normal, but this has me puzzled. The CD (!) case insert says: “Read by Justin Barrett, braindouche, Cow Nose the 50 Pound Cat, Sibella Denton, Esther, and Andrew Lebrun. Total running time: 00:54:13.” Seems insane to me. Why put the whole reading on a CD? Why 5000 digits? Why are there no chapters? What if they made a mistake? Did they double-check the result? Who needs any of that anyway?
It’s a good number. What number would you’ve chosen instead?
Tau. because i like pi and 2 pi is always better than one.
Well, you can use the books as a form of random number generator. Maybe this can work for the blind in a much, much more compact form than a braille book (which, if you’ve never seen are fucking huge)? I don’t know. I’m sure whoever buys it has some reason they want it.
