I think there are a couple of people who lost the point. The person or people
who first brought up the whole business did not do so to sit smugly in judgement
as to what dumbshits the ancients were by equating pi to 3. The fact that the
Bible implies that pi=3 *is not the point*!
	The point is that some group was being stupid enough to want a state
legislature to pass a law making pi=3 *because it said so in the Bible!*
