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.
I'm sorry, I guess I've been living in an alternate reality... since
when did anyone getting up in congress/senate/whatever beauracratic
organization you want to name and stating the stupidity of something
ever *reliably* prevent it from passing?

Well, surprisingly in this case it happened. I don't make the rumors, I
just spread them.

Never, that I recall. You know, I'll bet that if someone else had
stood up after the stupidity of the idea of changing pi to 3.0 was
mentioned, I'm surprised that another idiot/politician (basically the
same thing, right?) didn't stand up and just suggest outlawing pi,
which, as we all know, would have been passed into law just to
simplify things and create a new law that would create more jobs due
to more people being prosecuted and fined for using pi.
