About me
Humor 
There are clubs on the web named "the 100 club" and "the 1000 club", for people who have memorized at least 100 or 1000 decimals of pi, respectively.
I thought they left out the most interesting class of people. So in September 1995, I started the -2 club, for people who were unable to memorize even two decimals of pi.
I no longer accept new members. But below, you can view the list of bright and talented people who made it in time.
