Heh, I have the purple-flower thingie that came with Windows XP and put 100 decimals of pi on it. I have memorized 71 so far. \o/

Aren't there any girls in Finland?

I have had the Viel Nebula up for far too long....perhaps a change is in order.

"Aren't there any girls in Finland?"

 

Nay, thar be only arctic creatures (only sucky arctic creatures like lemmings, no polar bears or that sort :<) and... cloudberries.

You can not be serious. wow.

 

Might I ask why...?

 

Best wallpaper source.

I'm going for one hundred decimals. I like pi(e), no other reason. AND, it's a good way to bore people to death.

 

Hey, now that this is a wallpaper thread, has anyone found a good pic of northern lights/aurora borealis? With a high resolution, of course, for desktop wallpaper purposes. :| Yes, I tried Goo-Ghaling but couldn't find any nice enough. I should probably take advantage of freezing my ass in here, and take some pictures of actual live aurora borealis.

a good one is the matrix one using java script (yes it actually works and moves) with the letters coming down. Is there anymore similar ones that actually move etc like this one?

Heh, I took a picture of my bismuth crystal

It's quite shiny... Mmmm. I'd be honored if someone had the nerves to use it as a desktop wallpaper.

 

Edit: Btw, it's a really high resolution picture, about 930kbs. :< Takes a while to load, for slow connections.

OK i have done that

how did u make it

What? How did I make the crystal? I bought it, but bismuth actually can be crystallized easily like that (looks like a mayan temple or something ). If you mean how did I make the pic, I took it with a magical device called the camera, no editing. I'm quite sure you meant the crystal though.

aww, you should have made it your self. It's a lot of fun. I bought one too though a long time ago at a little rock store in santa fe not really knowing what it was.

Bismuth is damn great. Especially for its weird metastability.
