That Wisconsin "W" seems awfully big for the 38 degrees it represents, especially considering the oval Y should be nearly 4 times bigger.Prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss
There's three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who's got the same first name as a city; and never go near a lady's got a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/sideshow...170946186.htmlThe seven deadly sins (for those who don't concern themselves with such things and/or have never seen that creepy Brad Pitt movie) are, in no particular order: wrath, envy, greed, gluttony, sloth, lust and pride.
Seeking to discover where in America those sins are most prevalent, a group of geographers from Kansas State University did some research using data on things such as number of fast food restaurants per capita (gluttony), number of thefts and robberies (envy), and average incomes compared with the number of inhabitants living beneath the poverty line (greed).
The maps originally were created in 2009, but recently popped up again thanks to a blog at memolition.

Actually, one thing I have been surprised by in my move to NYC is how little profanity there seems to be in public. It is there, but I expected much worse. Of course, I do come from a Sailor state.Originally posted by creekster View PostNY is only occasionally profane? This must not include manhattan or long island.
