6. Urban Legend

Snopes strikes again. It mentions that the Indiana State House of Reps passed a bill (unanimously) to make pi=3.2. You can find the text on the web by putting "indiana pi" into google. The reasoning for this is pretty ludicrous. The author of the bill was flustered with the idea of irrational numbers (neverending decimals for those who forgot), and thought he could put an end to it. He failed.
