Just watched a longplay of a game where people would think that at some point, pi would turn into binary code, providing the plan of a mysterious machine, and calling it something from god as pi is a constant of the universe.
Of course, there's no serious scientist around to point out that this is based on an algorithm to get the digits of pi that was found in a distant past, which is already suspicious, and that anybody having a huge advance in the calculation of digits of pi could have created a bogus algorithm that create for a very long time proper digit of pi, then add a completely unrelated sequence, and then whispered the bases of this algorithm to the scientists of the past that lacked the means to seriously compute pi.
Oh well, could probably happen in reality too.After all we had the epic fails of doomsday on 2000 and 2012 (IMG:[
