Tennessee, and only in Robert Heinlein's "Stranger in a

is just the most immediately credible. The state in question
is always some state presumed inhabited by rustics. But no
state in the U.S. has ever had a law passed legislating the
value of pi. Indiana came close.


Whew! That's definitely reassuring. (-:
