Does anyone remember the time when the General Assembly tried to fix pi? In 1897 they almost put in state law that the value of pi (3.14159 ad infinitum) would be rounded up for convenience. The episode has become a by-word for idiocy in the General Assembly.
Rep. Prescott’s scheme ranks right up there with “squaring the circle” in 1897. I’d say it’s even loopier. In the rush to pander to conservative evangelicals, he wants to wade into the fog of folklore to declare something as fact.
Let’s give him the award for shear cluelessness.
As if we don’t have enough serious issues to handle, we spend time of the legislature on this??????????
I seriously don’t know how these ….people get elected. No wonder Indiana is a laughing stock……
This is the same legislator who wants to remove the ability for the Indiana Department of Health to decide what vaccines kids should get … and best I can tell, wants to remove the chickenpox vaccine in the process.
https://iga.in.gov/legislative/2023/bills/house/1083
I retract the part about chickenpox vaccine.
I do not retract the part about it being a stupid bill.
Prescott is a farmer … if some city slicker wanted to mandate how he should grow crops or raise cattle because they read some stuff on the Internet … he’d probably tell them to pound sand.
But, he’s a legislator, so he’s smarter than the Department of Health.
The most realistic/entertaining of all the stories about the origin/definition of the term Hoosier I’ve heard is:
A person from Kentucky or Tennessee who set out for Michigan to get a job in the Auto Industry and never made there.
Here’s another story about the origin of the name Hoosiers. A contractor by the name of Heuser (pronounced like Hoosier) was contracted to build a dam which created the falls of the Ohiio near Clarksville, IN. When his workers paddled over to Lousville for supplies, his men were known as “Heuser’s men.” This name was shortened to Heusers. As most people were illeterate at this time, the name was spelled in different ways. Heuser is an old name in Clark County which survives to this day. There is a Hueser Hardware in Jeffersonville which has been operating for over 100 years.
“illeterate”? How irunic!
We’re all Boilermakers now, so who cares?
