You know that all by memory? What in the...!!?? I can't even say the official name of that fossil shell!
Are you some kind of Rainman?
Oooo, I looked up the gemstone, its really neat looking! Wonder where I can find something made with the agate!
A friend mentioned that the Smith Island Cake was recently elected our state cake, so I went on a search to see what other things were out there to symbolize our state. I figured I'd find maybe four or five.. but 24?!?!
It kinda makes me wonder what other states are as... um... thorough?
