I know in the grand scheme of digits of pi it's not that interesting. But that 999999 near the middle is very satisfying, especially since it stands out with this coloring.

I can imagine a guy manually calculating pi in the past coming across that and thinking he's found Pi's repeating end.

"9. 9. 9? Another 9? And another 9?!!! That's it! Pi must just repeat all 9's after this. Yup. There's another 9. That's six 9's in a row. It's a repeating decimal after this for sure so the next digit will be an.. 8? An EIGHT?!!!"

It’s called the Feynman Point.

That's where I like to round it.

Yes, I noticed that too.
