Publisher Description: This is a digest of small stories and tales that happened in the 50 states of the USA. Every state has a funny story to tell, and in here you can find several of them for each state. The compilation of facts and trivia was made after research, checking some facts and names, and finding what would interest most people. This is not supposed to be a useful book about every state in the USA, this is intended to be a funny and informative trivia about all the States, including the District of Columbia.For example, did you know: The city of Industry in California has a population of 219, but is home to 80,000 jobs. If Texas was an independent country, it would rank as the world's seventh largest producer of greenhouse gases.Contrary to popular belief, Washington was not built on a swamp, maybe only 1 percent was built on swamp.The New York State legislature has a "Bear Mountain Compact", an agreement among legislators to keep extramarital affairs and other embarrassing transgressions from leaving the state capital, Albany. |
