In 1897 the Indiana house of representatives unanimously passed a bill (#246)
that would change the value of PI from 3.14159... to 16 divided by the cube
root of 3 or 9.2376. The bill was defeated in the state senate by one vote,
good thing too because not only is it wrong it's blasphemous, according to
the Bible Pi is exactly equal to 3.
In 1 Kings chapter 23 and again in 2 Chronicles chapter 4 it says.
"Also, he made a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in
compass, and five cubits the height thereof; and a line of thirty cubits
did compass it round about."
