NOW YOU'VE GONE TO FAR, JeffK. My grandmother, Guinan, sent you a special invitation for opening night at The 1337 Room in her basement.

Quote from: netrin
Is pi still defined π=3.0 in Louisiana?

That was an urban legend, and I'm pretty sure it wasn't even Louisiana in the urban legend. I think Georgia or Tennessee or something.

The joke hits home because it could just as well be Louisiana. To the rest of the world, we believe this could be true because we see the anti-intellectual theocracy that the United States is becoming.

Anyways, this will get struck the fuck down by the Supreme Court, since cash is legal tender for all transactions in the US.

It's legal tender as a payment of debt only.

it will be struck down.

here is debt:
you owe me 20 bucks for the lawnmower you just bought.

It also made slashdot and they put the bitcoin logo on it, though almost all talk of bitcoin on slashdot gets modded down to 0 and is not visible.
