"The Governor must not find out, but since he passed a law stating that pi = 3, the state academy predicted a total eclipse of the sun today, so we have to simulate one."
[Wikipedia: In 1897, an amateur mathematician attempted to persuade the Indiana legislature to pass the Indiana Pi Bill, which described a method to square the circle and contained text that implied various incorrect values for π, including 3.2.

The bill was passed by the Indiana House of Representatives, but rejected by the Senate, meaning it did not become a law.]
