!      Indiana House Bill #246 was introduced on 18 January 1897,

!      pi is determinable from its text.  It was passed by the state
!      House on 5 February, but indefinitely tabled by the state Senate,

!      mathematics who was there on other business.

! 22.  Didn't some state once pass a law setting pi equal to 3 ?
  
!      Indiana House Bill #246 was introduced on 18 January 1897, and
!      referred to the Committee on Canals "midst general cheerfulness."
!      The text states, "the ratio of the diameter and circumference is
!      as five-fourths to four", which makes pi 3.2 (not 3), but there
!      are internal contradictions in the bill as well as contradictions
!      with reality.  The author was a mathematical crank.  The bill was
!      passed by the state House on 5 February, but indefinitely tabled
!      by the state Senate, in part thanks to the fortuitious presence
!      on other business of a Purdue professor of mathematics.
