Nerdiness isn't something to be ashamed of.

OH-IO!


If that's the worst thing they can say about Ohio...rotfl Edited by brandelynmarie

I can vouch for massachusetts. We're all really terrible at driving but really hypersensitive about our driving skills being criticized.

I can vouch for Wyoming.. but they have a really interesting way of dealing with it.  They are posting white crosses at EVERY spot where a death has occurred.  Literally.

 

And it is helping....

"Four crosses along U.S. 287 between Helena and Townsend mark the spot where a fatal accident occurred. Montana chapters of the American Legion have been putting up crosses on Montana roads and highways for 50 years. Each one represents one person killed in that spot in a car crash. The crosses are made from scrap metal and painted white. Montana Highway Patrol Sgt. Jeff Mount stands next to two crosses along U.S. 191 south of Belgrade. The crosses are where Dan Farias and his wife, Tracy, were killed in a head-on collision on Halloween 1992. A rusted cross stands along U.S. 287 near Toston."

 

And an interesting 'gallery' of photos....

Anyone else have a creative solution for their (or another) state's issues?

Ok, I agree that California has more to worry about than just air pollution. But Washington state is what really threw me - bestiality?!!! :shock: I know I only lived there for 2months but really??

Maybe they think the Microsoft games are for real?

 

 

I haven't played many games (cards like Solitaire I guess) so I don't know. But I guess I didn't see much of Washington state anyway - just lovely Shaw Island, Friday Harbor etc. Everyone seemed ok to me. :)

Me too!  ;)  I think they are just desperate for something unkind to say about them....

 

 

Well, I can think of a few things, but bestiality isn't the first (or the last) thing I would ever think of! :)

I don't think there is a cure for nerdiness, but I wouldn't want to find one anyways! :o They are God's gift to technology! :)
