The value of pi to the billionth digit

in 1998, i made a C++ program to calculate pi to a billion digits.
i coded it on my laptop (pentium 2 i think) and then ran the program.
the next day i got a new laptop but decided to keep the program running.
it's been over seven years now since i ran it. and this morning it finished calculating.
the output:
"THE VALUE OF PI TO THE BILLIONTH DIGIT IS = "
mindblowing eh?
i looked in the code of my program, and i found out that i forgot to output the value :(.

Mexicans

There's a Mexican guy called Carlos working in a UK supermarket assisting
shoppers.
An old guy asks him "I want to buy half a kilo of cheese but you only sell
it in one kg packs. Can you please help me"

Carlos : " Sorry sir it only comes in one kilo packs"
Old guy : "but I'm a customer, your job is to satisfy me"
Carlos : " I can't help you"
Old guy : "then take me to your superviser"
Carlos : "no need for that sir. Please wait here sir I'll see what I can
do"
Carlos goes off to the supervisers office
Carlos : "excuse me sir but there's this a**hole of a shopper asking for a
half kilo of cheese and I've told him that we only sell it by the kilo, I
think he's a bit stupid"
His superviser gestures that there is someone behind Carlos. Carlos
realises that the old guy has followed him to the office.
He quickley says "and this nice gentleman wants to buy the other half".
After the customer is served and leaves the superviser calls Carlos to his
office.
Superviser : "Carlos, that was quick thinking earlier. You could have
landed us both in big trouble, well done"
Carlos : "Thank you sir"
Superviser : " tell me Carlos, where are you from?"
Carlos : "Mexico Sir"
Superviser : "What made you come from Mexico to work in a supermarket in
the UK?"
Carlos : "well sir, everyone in Mexico is either a footballer or a
prostitute"
Superviser : " really?. My wife is Mexican!"
Carlos : " I didn't know that sir, Which team did she play for?

White zebra

A biologist, a statistician, a mathematician and a computer scientist are on
a photo-safari in Africa. As they're driving along the savannah in their
jeep, they stop and scout the horizon with their binoculars.

The biologist: "Look! A herd of zebras! And there's a white zebra!
Fantastic! We'll be famous!"
The statistician: "Hey, calm down, it's not significant. We only know
there's one white zebra."
The mathematician: "Actually, we only know there exists a zebra, which is
white on one side."
The computer scientist : "Oh, no! A special case!"
