You mean when there were 9 planets. Now there are 8.

There are eight major planets and three dwarf planets. Technically there are 11 planets in our solar system.

Alright, good call.

Ohhh!!! See, I had it reversed. I thought there were 50 cards in a deck and 52 states in a country. Obviously, I haven't been playing with a full deck! Ha ha ha ha.

Who knew? I mean... Wyoming? Does anyone know anyone from Wyoming? I sure as hell don't. Where is Wyoming? What's going on there? Why does it sound so much like a street or possibly some vague city in the breadbasket?

Yikes! I wouldn't admit that if I were you. I'm from NY but yes I do know people from Wyoming and have been there more than a few times. I love it there!

By the way, even Obama said he has visited 57 states! I know, he was tired from all the campaining but still!!

46 states and 4 commonwealths is actually what we have.

I guess we could consider Canada a 51st state, since they are essentially us except with colder, arctic air for longer spells and expanded gay rights.

When I was in NYC I told people I was from South Dakota.
They asked me if I lived in Las Vegas...

You must be kidding !.........The home of Darth Vader , don't you know ? , and Jellystone Park, and Cheyenne.. ( the city , not the porn star ). Smallest state capital building in the US , less than half DV's digs, or , at least that we know of.
