Need a New Band Name

My bro and I thought of these last night, just tossing them out here to see if you guys think they're interesting:

Princess Chewbacca and the Wookie Horz (<-- euphemism)
  • Princess Chewbacca and the Wookie Horz (<-- euphemism)
  • Colostomy Band

That is not EXACTLY right either... ;) but closer.

The reference comes from a state legislature that had a bill introduced about 10/15 years ago to legislate that Pi should be defined as three.

I won't SWEAR to it, but I believe this idiocy transpired in the great State of
Texas, where science is commonly ignored by the legislature.

I don't think that was done here. I always heard it as an east coast thing like, maybe North Carolina. But something that the Texas legislature DID do back in the late '70's was to vote in favor of a commendation for Albert DeSalvo (sp?) for his efforts in the realm of population control.

Apparently no one checked to see that the person they were commending was, actually an accused mass-murderer.:rolleyes:

Oh yeah. Moments like that make SO proud to be a Texan.:rolleyes:

Well, everyone normally uses 3.14 for short, but in my programming class last year our teacher taught us to use 3.14159 since it was closer to the real thing.

I retract that allegation against the great Lone Star State. I was mistaken.

It was Indiana.

Here's the [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

I guess the Texas Legislature hadn't thought of it yet! ;)

I understand they can be a bit ROUGH on Biology textbooks down there ....
