"Following the lead of prominent logologician Mike Keith of Salem, Ore.,
O'Leary converted the higher decimal digits of pi from base 10 to base
26. He then identified the 26 different base-26 digits with letters of
the English alphabet: 0 = A, 1 = B, 2 = C,. . ., 25 = Z.

Here are the first 100 digits of pi expressed in this way:

D.DRSQLOLYRTRODNLHNQTGKUDQGTUIRXNEQBCKBSZIVQQVGDMELMUE
XROIQIYALVUZVEBMIJPQQXLKPLRNCFWJPBYMGGOHJMMQISMS. . . .

In effect, "pi in base 26 emulates the mythical army of typing monkeys
spewing out random letters," Keith says. "This implies that any text, no
matter how long, should eventually appear in the base-26 digits of pi."

The first one-letter word, O, occurs at position 6 (after the decimal
point). A two-letter word, LO, first appears at position 5; a
three-letter word, ROD, at position 11; a four-letter word, TROD, at
position 10; a five-letter word, STEEL, at position 6,570; a six-letter
word, OXYGEN, at position 11,582; and a seven-letter word, SUBPLOT, at
position 115,042.

"The fact that OXYGEN is the first six-letter word obviously indicates
that pi is truly the very stuff of life," gushes famed numerologist
April F. Day of Banana Slug University. "

Nice, but You probably haven's seen _LOL_ at Position 5, isn't it?
