The finiteness of PI

This is interesting. They ran the calculation three times on their supercomputer, and came up with the same answer -- the calculation of the wonderful number PI ended at 1.3511 trillion places! This is actually old news, from June 2004. I'll have to figure out what's become of this, since I would think that this would really upset some people, especially those in the "Ancient and Honorable Society of Pi Watchers."
