3-5-0-0

What's the significance of the numbers 3-5-0-0 in the controversial song of the same name from the musical Hair?

How many digits of pi did you have to memorize?

Has anyone else ever had the insane/completely useless (save for its novelty) experience of having to memorize a certain number of digits of pi (52 in my case) for a middle school math class (or any class for that matter)? I had to do just that to pass my 6th grade math class. Was my teacher a little off or was she just trying to teach us the value of ..... something or other? (I still remember 26 digits, but that's as far as I can go.)
