One legislature (IIRC it was Tennessee) passed a law making Pi = 3.

I think 1 Kings uses 3.

Kings does not use 3. That value was from some clumsy English translators. The value in the Hebrew text is 3-5/12.

Hebrew fractions are all in 12ths, and the bone-head limeys couldn’t figure it out.

Nope; Indiana.

And it was NOT passed, but did take up some serious discussion time - much like same-sex marriage is doing today.
