A Pi generator was at the heart of last night's episode of
*Elementary.  *Apparently,
the "random number generator" in a super-high-security safe was actually
just spitting out the next ten digits of pi every couple minutes.  Sherlock
recognized a Pi generator written in some (fake?) language called "Malvage"
(sp?).  It looked just like modem line noise (made Perl look like Python by
comparison!).  I tried a few searches, but turned up nothing.

Is this language fake or real?

Thx,

Skip
