ABSTRACT
Many people have heard, at some time during their schooling, that 'some legislature, somewhere, once tried to legislate the value of π and set it equal to 3.' The very idea of trying to legislate upon something as unlegislatable as the value of π is ludicrous. But such a bill was actually considered, and the details of this and the way it was handled, culminating in its rejection by the State Senate, can be somewhat amusing.
