I have been able to rattle off "3.141592653589" for decades now. I see that's become even less impressive, proportionally, thanks to Don McArthur.
Even more impressive than 2.5 trillion digits is that it only took about three days to calculate them, including a check.
Random semi-related coolness: the digits past the decimal point that I have memorized form a prime number!
Unbearably OCD disclaimer: I am aware that what I have memorized represents a truncated version of pi, not a properly rounded one. Just to save you from typing out that chastisement.
