CGM Google Europeans in Americas, interesting.

Will do. And here is something for you. I've been doing my own digging, initial investigations turned up the following stuff from Wikipedia. I'm gonna dig a little deeper, but it seems to relate to what you are talking about. I don't know if there is unanimous agreement, but it's interesting nonetheless.

The Solutrean hypothesis suggests an early European migration into the Americas and that stone tool technology of the Solutrean culture in prehistoric Europe may have later influenced the development of the Clovis tool-making culture in the Americas. Some of its key proponents include Dr. Dennis Stanford of the Smithsonian Institution and Dr. Bruce Bradley of the University of Exeter. In this hypothesis, peoples associated with the Solutrean culture migrated from Ice Age Europe to North America, bringing their methods of making stone tools with them and providing the basis for later Clovis technology found throughout North America. The hypothesis rests upon particular similarities in Solutrean and Clovis toolmaking styles, and the fact that no predecessors of Clovis technology have been found in Eastern Asia, Siberia or Beringia, areas from which or through which early Americans are thought to have migrated

I guess nobody is going to take a stab at the pi question, so cgm thanks for even trying haha, it was indiana by the way, in 1898 the state house approved a bill that would change the official value of pi, but the bill failed in the senate. As to why they did this I don't remember I'm going by memory here.

I think the better question is how? I mean, can't see how it can be changed. Maybe it could be shortened to create a universally fixed number for it, like..."Today, the state of Indiana officially makes pi 3.142!"

Exactly. Maybe they should have tried to ban negative numbers instead.
