Hello, gang

Now we have had questions as to the future of amateur radio and BPL - and
have seen that the FCC now considers amateur radio simply a hobby and not
worthy of full protection, I'm seeing some upcoming problems.

How will we calculate resonant frequency? Since Wisconsin is now going to
teach creationism, I assume that Tennessee will revive their old law which
states that PI is equal to 3 (integer). With Bush firmly in command, I
suspect that PI will be made (by law) equal to three.

Sez so in the bible, so it must be!

2 Chronicles|4:2 Also he made a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to
brim, round in compass, and five cubits the height thereof; and a line
of thirty cubits did compass it round about.


But it wasn't Tennessee, it was Indiana. And it wasn't 3, it was 3.2, or
3.3, or 4. The fellow proposing the law (T.I. Record of Posen County, in
1897) was confused by the idea of pi being a non rational number.
REally really confused!

But aside from being in error on that matter, you have a good point. We
are entering an age of anti-science.



Also, I suspect that
the metric system will be scrapped. We will deal in feet, with the foot
officially set to the length of Bush's foot.

Wrong, Jim. We will deal in cubits.

Anyone have any new formulas? Or won't that matter too much? What will the
radian be defined as?

Does not matter

Inquiring minds and such .... )

Inquiring minds need not apply!
