I think we'd have to go to Alabama to find out, but I don't think any President came from Alabama. If he did, his name would still be ranked below



among great Alabamans.

Why did they choose 13? I know any number would be random, but 13?

Ohio is the seventeenth state. It's still a prime number though.

That would have made it one of the original colonies.

Just add Pete Rose to the list and make it 14.

Yeah, momentary lapse there.

You're right. Gary, IN. My bad. He's been here so long, he feels like one of ours.

If you've ever been to Gary, IN - you would stay in Cincy too!

..... Well, in terms of Americans.

Astronauts are disproportionately from Ohio, for some reason.

We Ohioans excel at flying, engineering, and physics. Heck, I got my pilot's license before I got my driver's license! About ten of us from high school became pilots and one of us -- not me -- flew the space shuttle.

I knew Russia had the first man in space. I've got something wrong here, maybe it was the sound barrier. I'm too lazy to look it up now, but I know that Ohioans were the first on the moon and in flight. There's something else too in terms of flight, I just can't remember at the moment....
