State Trivia

Nope...Kind of a trick question. The official name for RI is: State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations. Thus making us have the longest name.

Yes, however they had to shorten it to Rhode Island, for when they originally put up the sign

<font color=blue>Welcome to the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations</font color=blue>

The left side of the sign was located in Conn. , the middle was in RI, and the right side was located in Mass.

Ya don't have to go to Europe to get your tie cut off. There's a restaurant (can't remember the name /w3tcompact/icons/sad.gif) in Tucson, Arizona that cuts a guys tie off when he walks in the door /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif! It's a little disconcerting to walk into a restaurant and have someone come at you with a big pair of scissors /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif/w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif. The nice thing is, though, they tack the part of the tie they cut off up on the wall so that you have visiting rights /w3tcompact/icons/eyes.gif.

Use to be a place in Denver that would do the same thing.

That's nothing compared to the table dancers near Detroit that reach into your pants and rip your FOTL waistband off and pull it over your head.


What's the largest one syllable city in the US? In the world?

Hint: the first one is near me, the other is on the other side of the planet.
