Another, rather funny, approximation of the first 15 digits of pi is
to take the length of the words in the following verse:

s = """
How I want a drink
alcoholic of course
After the heavy lectures
involving complex functions
"""

print [len(w) for w in s.split()]

will produce:

[3, 1, 4, 1, 5, 9, 2, 6, 5, 3, 5, 8, 9, 7, 9]
