Links to Pi Pages.  Another cool link page.  I got into this because I challenged someone to show me where to find a program that did the computation Turing showed was possible, rather than just repeat the claim.  I have been shamed into doing some of the homework myself by some marvelous digging by Stepen Harris.

 
Pi 3.14159 - Friends of Pi Club.  Now, that's the spirit.

 
Is Pi normal?.  This interesting tidbit, related to a discussion on computable numbers elsewhere, is part of a nice little site on Pi.
