StevenGuthmiller Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 To be honest, my state is supposedly most famous for being the land of 10,000 lakes, & yes, my guess would be that there are that many. More realistically, if you live here, it's probably more well known for it's horrendously cold winters, oppressively hot, humid summers, & kajillions of blood thirsty mosquitoes! And yes, there are plenty of turkeys here as well. How else could we have elected people like Jesse Ventura & Al Franken! Jees! Come to think of it, I'm not exactly sure why I still live here!! Steve
JollySipper Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 Snake bites? Sounds about right! The Rattle Snakes do get pretty large here............. Actually NC is famous for being the first state to cede from the Union, and the last to rejoin after the Civil War, if I'm remembering correctly (I hope that's read as just History................)
Ace-Garageguy Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 Yeah, it's getting to be so I can't walk down the block without seeing a damm panda; I guess I'll be griping about all the damm flying saucers in another year or so.
Aaronw Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 (edited) I really don't think California has any kind of monopoly on social media twits. We have the "most" in several categories of tree, the biggest (Giant Sequoia), the tallest (Coastal Redwood) and the oldest (Bristlecone pines). The north state is well known for beer, wine and marijuana, the south for surfers and Hollywood. I don't think that is a very good map, everybody knows Ohio is the state most famous for turkeys.

Mark Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 Our three-point economic plan: taxes, fees, and surcharges...
slusher Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 Great Smokey Mountains, Jack Daniels, and Walking Tall. Filmed the movie in Henderson, TN where I use to live. Really hot humid summers the only thing I really don't like. Yes, there is lots of Churches but that's not a bad thing.
Joe Handley Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 Well, at least Illinois isn't listed as "Having the most jailed governors"!

Pete J. Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 Dude, really? Cali is famous for so much stuff, but that is probably because it is so darned big. Where to start with obscura. Home of the SR-71/ U-2(Beale AFB). More fresh produce grown here than any other state. California produces more rice than any other state except Arkansas, which is really great for duck hunting. Another little known fact. California is the #3 oil producing state. Yup, the LA basin is full of the stuff. There are more active duty and reserve personnel from California in the military than any from any other state(as of 2017). Just a couple of little know bits and pieces.

I just can't stop laughing. This used to be one of my favorite TV shows. Pronography viewing, I know it's a little slow living in a fly over state I just didn't realize how slow I guess. I'll have to check this out.

Considering his corruption gave commercial licenses to people that had no right getting them, he and the people who took the bribes for him should have been charged with manslaughter for every death one of those drivers caused.
Cornpatch Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 Iowa famous for. Corn Pigs Packing Houses and John Deere
Rob Hall Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 Ohio: famous as birthplace of many Presidents, aviation history, birthplace of several astronauts, having lots of colleges and universities, Ohio State football, Pro Football Hall of Fame, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame... I love the Lake Erie coastline and having a National Park a few miles from my house. (Cuyahoga Valley National Park).

Danno Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 AZ better known for a big hole in the ground and a big hole in the fence.

Also applies to NM, my home state. You can tell who's a visiting desert rat back east, they'll be the people gawking at all the arroyos and ravines in South Carolina and Pennsylvania, going "wow, there's water in that one, too!"
