What I am going to give up for lent

I love it when Lent comes around.

The most annoying people give up facebook for lent. Bam no more Christian madness on my news feed for 40 days.

 
For lent I am going to give up all the digits of pi after 10^-2. So for the next 39 days I will only use 3.14 instead of 3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971693993751058209749445923078164062862089986280348253421170679821480865132823066470938446095505822317253594081284811174502841027019385211055596446229489549303819644288109756659334461284756482337867831652712019091456485669234603486104543266482133936072602491412737245870060631558817488152092096282925409171536436789259036001133053054882046652138414651941511609433057270365759591953092186117381932611793105118548074462379962749567351885752724891227938183011949129833673362440656643086021394946395224737190702179860943702770539217176293176752384674818467669405132000568127145263560827785771342757789609173637178721468440901224953430146549585371050792279689258923542019956112129021960864034418159813629774771309960518707211349999998372978049951059731732816096318595024459455346908302642522308253344685035261931188171010003137838752886587533208381420617177669147303598253490428755468731159562863882353787593751957781857780532171226806613001927876611195909216420198938095257201065485863278865936153381827968230301952035301852968995773622599413891249721775283479131515574857242454150695950829533116861727855889075098381754637464939319255060400927701671139009848824012858361603563707660104710181942955596198946767837449448255379774726847104047534646208046684259069491293313677028989152104752162056966024058038150193511253382430035587640247496473263914199272604269922796782354781636009341721641219924586315030286182974555706749838505494588586926995690927210797509302955321165344987202755960236480665499119881834797753566369807426542527862551818417574672890977772793800081647060016145249192173217214772350141441973568548161361157352552133475741849468438523323907394143334547762416862518983569485562099219222184272550254256887671790494601653466804988627232791786085784383827967976681454100953883786360950680064225125205117392984896084128488626945604241965285022210661186306744278622039194945047123713786960956364371917287467764657573962413890865832645995813390478027590099465764078951269468398352595709825822620522489407726719478268482601476990902640136394437455305068203496252451749399651431429809190659250937221696461515709858387410597885959772975498930161753928468...

Please excuse any imprecision resulting from this sacrifice of mine.

The people in my friends list who give up facebook for Lent aren't annoying because of their religion - they're just annoying people in general. They're the people who post song lyrics, vague statuses crying for comments, etc. I don't know if there's a correlation between religion and facebook statuses, but I think there is in my news feed.

That's why I love Lent.

Why do people give things up for Lent? What does it do?

Did a google search, found this. I have no idea why people do Lent. As a Lutheran, I never practiced it, even though I believe some people did.

Take it for what it's worth, since it is wordpress.

The most popular reason why people give things up from what I've heard is that Jesus gave up his life for our sins, the least we could do is to give up something that we don't need for him during Lent.
