Texas.......ahh home sweet home...and before anyone gets silly and ask...no I don't wear a cowboy hat or ride a horse....or drive a pick up truck......I do wear blue jeans :D......((I am from Dallas, Tx.))

Texas....ummm President Kenady was shot in Dallas......thats not cool being knowen for...

oh and a big stereo type i encounter a lot is the Idea that Texas is full of Oil Rigs....I hardly ever see those Oil Rig thingys....although their are a lot they are not everywhere.....

The micro-chip was invented in Dallas.....

umm oh and we have the Texas Rangers!!...not the baseball team the military force.......there is a story during the mexican war about how a group of Texas Rangers((10)) hunted down a group of men from the Mexican Army((stroy goes anywhere from 30-100...i think it is like 40..)) and trapped them. The Rangers sent a message to the trapped Mexicans and told them to surrender or they would come out shooting. The Mexicans decided they were outmatched and surendered....

and their was a riot at a prison (( can't remember which)) where they called in the Texas Rangers. They only sent one and the People((Can't remember which)) asked why they only sent one...the response was "One Riot, One Ranger". The riot was put down... :D (( ok so this isn't stuff i am ashamed of but stuff that i find interesting))

.. not much to explain, there was a poll, and oregon is the hungriest state in america :rolleyes: it might have somthing to do with housing costs being more then a single persons paycheck can support.. even two peoples paychecks, if they both have minimum wage jobs.. its pretty sad actually.. even if they got the rent payed then they would have hell of a time paying the bills, once thats over and done with, theres hardly any money for food..

Manchester:
Nothing much...pretty boring though

[COLOR=seagreen]My town is known for... THE POST-CHRISTMAS MASSACRE!!!! My state is known for the 2 WTC planes took off from Logan International and we are home to the worst sports teams in the country. That's right: the Red Sox, Celtics, Bruins, and Patriots all hail from wonderful Massachusetts. I swear to God, our high school football team is better than the Pats. They can actually make it to the Super Bowl...[/COLOR]

Well, i dunno, but i think N.S.W doesn't want to be known for the crappest council in the world! The council here sucks! If you call them to fix up an out of town road, they argue with you, and try to find a way to get out of getting off their big fat bif!

I live in Stoke on trent, England. Its the hometown of robbie williams, which is good. Its also the home town of the captain of the titanic. which would be nice if you ignore what happened to the ship.

Stoke on trent is also badly renowned for its bus service. They say buses come in three's, and they always late. In stoke, buses come in ones and three just dont turn up.
