On this 22nd day of the 7th month, 22/7 being a better approximation of π than 3.14, here is a curio due to P. Olivera (2005).
Take the fractional part of π, and sum the first 3 groups of 6 decimal digits: you get 1588419.
Skip the next 15 digits: 88419 follow.

Here is a #CommonLisp program to illustrate:
