Oh how I wish that I could get a credit card with about 100 digits on it.
I'd really love to hand it the clerk and watch her copy them all down,
while I and all the people in line drummed our fingers.  If there is ever
a national ID instituted, I hope my personal ID number has at least 100
digits in it as well, and will happily memorize them and rattle them off
to anyone who asks. (I memorized "pi" to well over 100 places when in the
math club in High School.)
