Christa Pike

American murderer (born 1976)

Christa Gail Pike is an American convicted murderer who is incarcerated on death row in Tennessee. In 1995, when she was 18, Pike murdered her 19-year-old Job Corps classmate Colleen Slemmer in Knoxville. Pike and two friends led Slemmer into the woods where they tortured and killed her. In 1996, at the age of 20, Pike was sentenced to death, making her one of the youngest women to receive a death sentence in the United States during the post-Furman period. If the execution is carried out, she will be the 19th woman executed nationwide since 1976 and the first woman executed in Tennessee in 206 years, since the hanging of Eve Martin in 1820.

OBSCURE WIKIPEDIA ENTRY OF THE DAY Indiana pi bill
The Indiana pi bill was bill 246 of the 1897 sitting of the Indiana General Assembly, one of the most notorious attempts to establish mathematical truth by legislative fiat. Despite its name, the main result claimed by the bill is a method to square the circle. The bill implies incorrect values of the mathematical constant π (pi), the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. The bill, written by a physician turned amateur mathematician, never became law due to the intervention of C. A.
