Remember when US politicians argued about declaring Pi to 3?

Would have been funny seeing the world go boink in about a week.

To everyone who might not have heard about that before: It was an attempt to introduce it as a bill in Indiana:

the bill's language and topic caused confusion; a member proposed that it be referred to the Finance Committee, but the Speaker accepted another member's recommendation to refer the bill to the Committee on Swamplands, where the bill could "find a deserved grave".

An assemblyman handed him the bill, offering to introduce him to the genius who wrote it. He declined, saying that he already met as many crazy people as he cared to.

I hope medicine in 1897 was up to the treatment of these burns.

I'm sure he would have believed he could.
