Another jokeish website I have made (almost finished).

It's kind of like Seti @ Home but calculating digits of pi.  Uses a screensaver etc etc.  A really really pointless thing to do, made more pointless by the fact the results are in hexidecimal (formulas used only do it in hex).

I probably won't get very far but it's been fun!  Maybe Pi@Home can beat the world record (1.2 trillion or whatever).

After studying the Pi formula it's not going to be practical.  The project will now be called "Monkey1k" (Monkey One Thousand).

It's trying to answer how long would it take a thousand monkeys to reproduce shakespear.

Should launch soon.
