Thanks in advance of course! 69vert Sep 6th, 04, 04:43 PM S F Q.... rojo Sep 6th, 04, 04:45 PM Sorry, there's no way I can remember them all without it taking way too much time (I'm getting old). Ask me to defend them and I'll make time for all 50. Carry on with the game. graemlins/beers.gif rojo Sep 6th, 04, 04:53 PM Now as a bit of trivia is there a U.S. State that is not represented in the roster of Team Camaro. I doubt it but an interesting thought. New game. paulm Sep 6th, 04, 05:42 PM How about continental united states.... Kyvox Sep 6th, 04, 06:39 PM That would be the lower 44 states....the other 4 are Commonwealths. DjD Sep 6th, 04, 06:50 PM Do you guys really want someone to copy all the names from their Rand McNally? If so do you want the 13 Canadian Providences too? ;) DjD Sep 6th, 04, 06:58 PM Originally posted by Kyvox: That would be the lower 44 states....the other 4 are Commonwealths. Every web site I went to from a google search called the continental US the lower 48. Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Kentucky refer to themselves as commonwealths but the dictionary more or less defines commonwealth as a state. hugger_sixty_nine Sep 6th, 04, 09:04 PM OK, that was a good one, but i'll one up you Canadian style. Now ....without looking at a map or an atlas, tell me which of the 13 Canadian provinces is the biggest (land mas wise), and where in Canada it is located, then tell me which Province is the smallest and where is it located. When your all done with that, tell me which country has the second biggest land mass in the world. (by the way, I could have named all 48 without the map and can also tell you where they are region wise) hehe Kyvox Sep 7th, 04, 03:22 AM Originally posted by DjD: </font><blockquote>quote:</font><hr />Originally posted by Kyvox: That would be the lower 44 states....the other 4 are Commonwealths.

However, oficially, they are not states, they are commonwealths. Kind of like calling an automobile a car or motor vehicle.

Largest Province - Northwest Territory Smallest Pronince - Nova Scotia Second largest country landmass wise - Canada choptop Sep 7th, 04, 08:43 AM Don't forget that Texas was a Republic when admitted to statehood...and a great majority of us still believe we are a Republic! tongue.gif smalblock Sep 7th, 04, 02:16 PM How many states are farther north, either all or part, than the southern most tip of Canada? late68 Sep 7th, 04, 03:24 PM Best I can do is name the 50 states in alphabetical order.So take Hawaii and alaska away and presto! The lower 48 states. :rolleyes: Alabama Alaska Arizona Arkansas California Colorado Connecticut Delaware Florida Georgia Hawaii Idaho State Illinois Indiana Iowa Kansas Kentucky Louisiana Maine Maryland Massachusetts Michigan Minnesota Mississippi Missouri Montana Nebraska Nevada New Hampshire New Jersey New Mexico New York North Carolina North Dakota Ohio Oklahoma Oregon Pennsylvania Rhode Island South Carolina South Dakota Tennessee Texas Utah Vermont Virginia Washington West Virginia Wisconsin Wyoming Capital [ 09-07-2004, 05:53 PM: Message edited by: late68 ] |
