- It's where someone is building some sort of font for the temple in the Old
- Testament. Of course, for pi=3 to follow, one has to assume that the Bible is
- inerrant, literally true, and precise. Now, that's what a lot of creationists
- seem to claim, but outside the lunatic fringe of the creationists, you seldom
- see claims that the Bible is everywhere precise.
