there's a second edition: archive.org/details/liarlexi… frustratingly enough, this link does not have the issue with the original article (feb 25, 1987): archive.org/details/micro_IA…

This calculator, developed by Ismail Iqbal Securities, estimates the fuel cost savings between two vehicles and the distance you would need to drive to recover the difference in purchase price. Results are based entirely on the inputs you provide, such as fuel prices, mileage and annual distance driven, and actual outcomes may vary.

Pi Day is a lie. If 3 = March, then .14159 is a fraction of a month, not day 14. Real Pi Day is March 5th. March 14th is just a formatting trick.
