Texas has some big cities. And with the influx from Mexico (mostly Catholics, no birth control) we stand to get a lot bigger. This will be great for real estate!

You might not think of Jacksonville as the #12 most populous city, but it makes sense; Jacksonville is actually the largest (in total area) city in the U.S.

The snow quiz was ridiculously hard. they must have picked the longest sentence hemingway has ever written(it had clauses!) and the quote about not having anything to eat was a trick question. Anyone having read Dr. Zhivago would have thought it was from that book. The steep hill quote, should have again, gone with Ethan Frome.

That one was way too tricky! Anyone who scored well on that quiz would have literally had to memorize most of those books.

9/10. Only got San Diego, because I had written San Francisco, figured I still had the San, so deleted Francisco and tried it… but I would have never guessed San Jose in my life.

Hmmm… didn’t see San Antonio coming. Or San Jose, but I never would have thought of that anyway.

I had no idea so many of the Top 10 were in Texas. Very interesting!
