Hoosier politicians have particular trouble
understanding
that some things are simply beyond their control; at some
time (during the 1840s IIRC), a Hoosier legislator proposed
a bill to change the value of Pi to 3.0 since that would
make all calcultations involving Pi more easy to perform.
I'm really surprised it that it failed to pass...
From what I recall, it actually got pretty close until someone stood up to
point out the stupidity of it all, whence it quickly died.
