I only managed to name all 50 with help. I got 49 states down in about 4 minutes, but that last one tormented me for another 5 minutes. (There was a really stupid song I learned in junior high which involved singing the states names alphabetically. My memory for it breaks down somewhere after N, though, where the states stop fitting the tune terribly well.) (Huh, I think this comment has now exceeded the length of your post. I should wonder off quietly now.)

That was fun, thanks for sharing, you find the coolest stuff on the web.

I too could only do it because of that song I learned in school. I got all but 4, due to spelling problems. And I swear I was spelling Mississippi right, but it wasn\'t giving it to me, blasted website, hahaha!!!!!

Do you ever revisit your old comments, and recoil in horror at the spelling and typographical errors?

That would be \"state\'s names\" or \"state names\" and \"wander off quietly,\" not \"wonder off quietly.\"

Bad typissts untie!
