That reminds me... it's been a really long time since we went trolling through Zappos for the Fugliest Shoe On The Planet.
Ooh! Something to distract me from Super Tuesday!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
111 years ago today:
1897: Egged on by an amateur mathematician, the Indiana General Assembly almost passes a bill adopting 3.2 as the exact value of pi (or π). Only the intervention of a Purdue University mathematician who happens to be visiting the legislature prevents the bill from becoming law, saving the most acute political embarrassment.
What became known as the Indiana pi bill was sponsored by Rep. T.I. Record at the behest of Edwin J. Goodwin, a physician and math dilettante who claimed to have figured out how to square circles.
House Bill 246, proposed as "an act introducing a new mathematical truth," went through three reads before being passed unanimously by the House, presumably to avoid having to endure a fourth.
Although it comes down to us as the "pi bill," pi itself is never mentioned in Record's bill, which was, in fact, intended to confirm Goodwin's formula for squaring the circle. The value 3.2 for pi was a prerequisite for making that formula plausible.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Damn you, Jesse! I just made the fastest purchase of boots ever. (uh...the second ones I linked to not the first) But I am so tired of not having a non-scuffed up falling apart pair of brown boots! and they were on super sale!
At least these people actually deliver, unlike those effers at Aerosoles! And I figured the prices were good enough to pay for shipping.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
the Indiana pi bill
Still not as dumb as the proposed bill in Mississippi that would ban overweight people from eating in restaurants.

I think you're right. They claim to have 3 pair of the boots I ordered in stock. I may be speaking too soon but maybe I will actually succeed in buying a pair of new, non-novelty boots this winter!
