Mike was one of the original 13? I didn't know that. Now I do.
Though I was not around at the time I did, eventually of course, hear it.
For this reason I know 7+ digits of pi, whereas before I only had three. I
suppose by some measures this is an improvement. At any rate it shows that
it's easier to memorize things when there's a melody involved.

Vikki,
Personally, I've tried hard to ERASE my memories of "The PIed PIper"
emanating from the airwaves. I can't think of a more thoroughly geeky thing
that I've been associated with over my 43 years...
If my admittedly imperfect memory serves me, I seem to recall that that
atrocity was committed to tape in the computer room.
A couple of years after that appalling escapade, ANOTHER socially-challenged
associate of mine -- the inimitable Paul Ross -- got HIS recording on Dr.
Demento: a parody of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" theme, titled, "A
Pervert's Life for Me."
(Mr. Ross is currently incarnate as "Ross Jeffries," NLP consultant to
fledgling date-rapists everywhere. Visit his site at
http://www.seduction.com/ and be THOROUGHLY appalled.)
