Connecticut

Connecticut, often referred to as "The Nutmeg State" by people who have confused it with Vermont, is famous for being dynamic and containing Yale University, where in 1889 (we are not making this up) the tackling dummy (or "bloatwurst") was invented. The state capital, Hartford, is the headquarters of many large insurance companies, so keep your car doors locked. Also be sure to visit Mystic Seaport, where you can see an actual whaling ship in which courageous nineteeth-century mariners went to sea to do battle with monstrous fourteen-ton animated replicas of Zsa Zsa Gabor. Connecticut's Official State Prank is the whoopee cushion

I'm reading about leprosy in the novel I'm reading..it said your feet, hands and face rot off..but I heard that didn't happen with that disease..confusion much? Haha

Hahaha...wow...I totally thought the state capital of CT was Stamford. Oooops. Haha. I would think that New Hampshire would be more confused with Vermont, they look alike haha.

Mystic Seaport is awesome. The restaurant there, the Seaman's Inne, has the best crab cakes in the world. Mmmmm.

sa Zsa Gabor is an actress, she's been around since the early 50's - she's known as being sort of the original Paris Hilton, except with talent. That is to say, she was known equally for her relationships/gossipy stuff as for her movies.
