http://rubrick.livejournal.com/123927.html
Home state history - Something to Sneeze At. Mar 9th, 2011 01:54 pm. I grew up in Ohio, and must have gotten some Ohio history in school; but if so I remember almost none of it. (I do however remember extremely useful facts such as that the state fossil is the trilobite and the state rock song "Hang On Sloopy".) I certainly had never heard about the Toledo War. 2011-03-09 11:03 pm (UTC). 2011-03-09 11:26 pm (UTC). Incidentally, the state beverage is tomato juice. 2011-03-10 01:46 am (UTC).

The end of Dexter just had me saying, in my most indignant Seth Meyers voice, Really? So many things wrong with the final episode, its hard to decide where to begin.
