So did we. So we put the scientific method Mrs. Renfroe taught us
in 7th grade science class to work, with some surprising results.

Residents of Nantes, France woke to a space capsule crashed into a smoking pile of rubble in the central square of the city. Later that day, a giant animatronic elephant and entourage of the Sultan paraded into town to visit the mayor.

Then, on saturday, the capsule opened to reveal a giant animatronic girl who walked through the streets, mischievously sewed a row of parked cars to the street with a shipping Hauser rope, rode a scooter, and even asked that the crowd give her some privacy while she used the toilet.

This play went on all day — the Giant and elephant slept curled together in a park — for an entire weekend. People were completely involved in this fantasy, and you can only imagine the effect it has on the imaginations and passions of children.

Towards the end of section 2 it says plainly that “The ratio of the diameter and circumference is as five-fourths to four,” which means pi is 3.2. The section goes on the criticize (ungenerously, I’d say) past values of pi as “wholly wanting and misleading.”

This photo was taken on November 14, 2000. The 60 x 60 meter swastika consisted of Larch trees in a Pine forest near the village of Zernikow (110 km Northeast of Berlin). It was only visible from the air a few weeks in the Spring and a few weeks in the Fall when Larch trees stood out in contract to the surrounding Pine trees.

These trees were planted in the 1930’s by a local resident during Nazi times. They were largely forgotten until after the German reunification in 1992 when planes once again flew over the area.
