Government contractors are really dense.

pasitheaNo. I mean it. Government contractors are really really dense.
I was watching a program on Gamma Radiation and this just occurred to me. Not only that, we can calculate precisely how dense they are.
Consider the following:
You've heard that in the past certain government construction projects used 3 in place of PI as if they expected the entire world to revolve around them?
Well... What if it did?
Think about it. Circumference = 2*PI*r in planar space, but what if you were the center of an extremely massive body like a star? Because of the compression of spacetime around the center, half the distance of the radius in real space is less than half the distance in planar space and that means that from one model, C/2r could = 4 and in another frame of reference, C/2r could = 3 given appropriate mass for either.
Now. I'll simplify a bit and assume a rather spherical person. Short and fat, maybe 100cm in circumference (just because it's a nice round number) So now you just need to work out the mass required in that circumference to set PI to 3.
You have now accurately calculated the density of an average politician.
