Knuths font design program METAFONT is currently version 2.71828 (and
TeX is 3.141592). As new versions come out, the version numbers
converge on e and pi respectively. (As he says, when they *equal* e

At one stage, "Monty Python's Flying Circus" was going to be called
"Owl Stretching Time".

If that had eventuated, then presumably we would all be disussing the Owl
