Regional Dialect Maps
« on: June 05, 2013, 06:57:31 PM »
The maps are a visualization of the results of a survey done by a professor at NC State.  He basically asked Americans in different regions how they pronounced certain words, or what words they used to identify specific things (such as crawfish vs. crawdad).

Based on this alone, I think we should forcibly remove Kentucky from the SEC.

Well, ain't it a small world, spiritually speaking. Pete and Delmar just been baptized and saved. I guess I'm the only one that remains unaffiliated.

And that is why you remain a man of constant sorrow:

Five statements of WISDOM
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friends, is the beginning of the end of any nation.
