I guess I'd be depressed, too, if my claim to fame was something so utterly useless...

Big deal. I know all the lines from Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back.

I'm having trouble figuring out who is father and son in this article--doesn't it say his dad is only 35?

"A member of Mensa who claimed to be able to recite the infinite number Pi to more than 1,000 decimal places,"
