I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

While not exactly a scientific survey; it still amused me that Floridians least favorite state is Florida.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

We just had to put our dog down. He was old and his kidneys were failing. It was his time.  :cry:

But my wife and I now have to talk about it with our 3 year old daughter. Anyone have any experience or advice about that?

When my son was 3 years old my GFs family dog passed away. I remember telling him that Cesar(dog's name) was gone & wouldn't come by the house anymore. My son was more distraught at my sadness than anything else. I don't think 3 years old understand much of death.

Funny that everyone hates their local big and succesful place... Except the New York area which hates NK rather than NY and the texas/alaska oddity

I also appreciate Delaware hating everyone. Probably because the other states forget they exist.

That's New Jersey.  Also, as you can see, all the surrounding states hate New Jersey.
