It would be interesting to hear "The Rest of the Story" as Paul Harvey would say. There must be some quite amusing tales behind the creation of these laws. :laughing:

Some of them are simply untrue according to other sources. Wiki for example says of the IN pi law claim:
The Indiana Pi Bill is the popular name for bill #246 of the 1897 sitting of the Indiana General Assembly, one of the most famous attempts to establish scientific truth by legislative fiat. Despite that name, the main result claimed by the bill is a method to square the circle, rather than to establish a certain value for π, although the bill does contain text that appears to dictate various incorrect values of π, such as 3.2.
The bill never became law, due to the intervention of a mathematics professor who happened to be present in the legislature.

There just so happens to be one across the river from me several miles but the "Big House" around here is "Big Mac" or McAlester State Prison. It's been around since 18__ something. That's where they send the tag removers, jay walkers and those that don't yield to my horses!:laughing:
