OT: Manufacturers may need to redesign Frequency Displays

Phil Salas
And just think how much this will simplify calculations, since we'll be able
to use 3 for both e (2.718281..) and pi (3.141592..).  Look how easy
calculating the circumference of a circle will become, and finding Xl and
Xc.  Probably won't need that pesky calculator in many cases - leading to
some real improvements in self-esteem for many having to take those
currently unreasonable math and science courses.

If you "burrow" down in that website further, they indicate the whole thing
is basically a hoax.

I deciced it had to be hoax after 2 paragraphs - I guess I was  
thinking - gosh, I hope this is a hoax or the world is in serious  
trouble!
