Part Three: the Lonely Sandbag with a Leak
Here are some random, completely untrue facts about the new state that I have decided to call home:
- Colorado is both the 38th as well as the 43rd state of the United States.....it makes sense if you accept the fact that Idaho doesn't really exist.
- The state bird is the groundhog.
- Colorado is home to the highest population of nocturnal randomly howling dogs.
- Colorado and Kansas have been at war since 1861, but the Colorado Militia hasn't led an offensive for over a hundred years due to the fact that Kansas is so unorganized, they keep attacking themselves.
- Shuffleboard is outlawed in Denver.
- Not being smug is outlawed in Boulder.
- The state bird is the Mexican.
- The Rocky Mountains were originally named the 'Lenny Mountains', until Lenny got flattened by a rock.
- Colorado has the highest percentage of stolen American Flags in the states.
- Colorado has the second highest number of hacky sack related deaths, second only to Indiana of all places.....but that's probably because Indiana's state motto is "kill the hippies".
- Colorado is home to what is known as "the Most Unsuccessful Sea-Port in the World".
- The state bird is Bob Denver.
- About 34% of all Coloradans are not in the other 66% in this poll alone.
- The rain never makes it to the ground in Colorado. EVER!
- Denver has the third highest population of Emo kids, who buy their depression from Hot Topic.
- Just like every other state, Colorado is the birthplace of the cheeseburger, which is a bragging right I've always wondered about.
- Colorado is the home and headquarters for the Society of Cannibals against Rational Thought.....or P.E.T.A. for short.
- Four out of every three Coloradans believe in unicorns, whether they admit it or not.
- Greeting someone is considered 'foreplay' in Fort Collins.
- Colorado's state motto is "at Least We're Not Montana"....which is also the same state motto for Nevada.
...and that's enough for now. I will most definitely have more fun and completely untrue facts to share with you as the future unfolds for me in my new surroundings.
