A Slice of the (Amazon) Pi

This has gotta be one of the world's worst kept secrets by now, but... If you haven't yet heard, you can get 'a slice of the pi' from Amazon.com simply by using their new(ish) search engine, a9.com. They've been running a promotion for quite some time now wherein you get an instant (and automatic) 1.57% discount (i.e., π/2%) on your purchases just for using a9.com. It used to be that you simply had to pop over to a9.com and run a quick search prior to making a purchase at Amazon in order to activate the discount. It now seems to require searches on and off for about a week before the discount is activated. I'm not sure how frequently you need to return to a9.com to keep this alive, but once or twice a week seems to do it for me. Yeah, yeah. I know. 1.57% isn't much, but it's better than nothing.
