Yes, that's right. Search the first 100 million digits of pi for substrings. List digits at a particular decimal position. Oh, yes. Feel the power.

Yay, my birthday is in the first 100 million digits of Pi!

My 7 digit phone number is, but my 10 digit number is not.

Pi contains a few self-locating strings, but not many. Defining self-locating depends how you count the "position". If you treat the first digit after the decimal point as digit "1" (which the pi searcher does), then you get the following numbers which can self-locate themselves in the first 50M digits of pi:

1, 16470, 44899
If, on the other hand, you act like a computer geek and use zero based indexing, then you get these numbers:
6, 27, 13598, 43611, 24643510

That's pretty cool.
