Completely off topic, but never a truer word has been spoken. Even
fundamental constants 
(Planck, Boltzmann, fine-structure etc) are updated every four years or so
as measurements 
of things like the molar gas constant, avagodro's#, electron charge, etc
improve. Or you 
use even more digits for pi (if you're using the magnetic permeability).

Anyway....
