Appropriately, “Euler” appears in the expansions of both pi and e (as does “Erdos”). For what it’s worth [trust me, not much], “TwoPi” also appears in the expansions for pi and e. So I’m in good company, and “there goes the neighborhood” quoth E and E.

“Hamlet” does not appear in the tens of millions of digits being used for e and pi, but I trust that it (along with the full text of the play itself, in english, spanish, and latin) will eventually appear in each.

Sagan suggested looking for graphs of circles in the binary expansion of pi, and presumably we’d eventually find them, no? I’d be curious to hear suggestions for similar graphs related to exponential growth to hunt for in the digits of e. My vote: a tree diagram.

And there’s even more flexibility with other standard date formats: 08102008 (for 08 October 2008) is 52 million digits in in the expansion of pi (as prof_hobart pointed out on reddit this morning). [Neither 08102008 nor 081008 appear in the e digits, though 08/10/08 is a cooler looking date than 10/08/08].

The e page does have 100708 for 10/07/08, though, in three places. It also has 100808 in three places. It also has 31415, but not 314159, and it has 141592, but not 1415926. On the other hand, π has 27182818, starting at position 73,154,827. Yeah, I’m bored.
