Here's an example:#7: Alabama Changes the Value of Pi
The April 1998 issue of the New Mexicans for Science and Reason
newsletter contained an article claiming that the Alabama state
legislature had voted to change the value of the mathematical constant
pi from 3.14159 to the 'Biblical value' of 3.0. Before long the
article had made its way onto the internet, and then it rapidly made
its way around the world, forwarded by people in their email. It only
became apparent how far the article had spread when the Alabama
legislature began receiving hundreds of calls from people protesting
the legislation. The original article, which was intended as a parody
of legislative attempts to circumscribe the teaching of evolution, was
written by a physicist named Mark Boslough.
Pi are round, Cornbread are Square...:-)
