[net.followup] Lawyers vs Engineers

        I imagine that if there is a net for lawyers somewhere, they are
        why engineers cause so many problems.

I'm sure they do.  In Indiana, the state legislature once came close
to legislating the value of pi as 3.14.  They obviously considered
trancendental numbers as an effort by engineers and scientists to
confuse things and thus create more jobs for engineers and scientists. :-)

P. S. Sorry I mixed up the above.  There is still enough info for the
flamers, so I guess its ok.

	The Indiana Legislature tried to make pi equal to 3 (three),
	not 3.14.  The Dean of the School of Science from Purdue
	University was instrumental in keeping it from happening.

Just the facts...
