AHH! That is so true, I've gotten lost in cornfields a couple of times. It's scary! And I really had NO idea how tall they really were until I was actually down in there. Yikes, now I just avoid them completely.

Just some more useless trivia. Rhode Island is actually an island.
Rhode Island's official name is Rhode Island and Providence Plantations. Rhode Island is what is currently referred to as Aquidneck Island (Newport, Middletown & Portsmouth), and the rest was Providence Plantations.

I really did get the name question playing trivial pursuit one night. The question was what is the state with the longest name.

Actually for NY there's something I saw on a t-shirt that I liked:

Welcome to New York. Now duck motherf*cker!!!

(accompanied by picture of gun)

Of course I'm not advocating violence, I just thought that was funny
