Huh. Apparently there is at least one useful Bammer.

    Oh, sorry. I was wrong.

    Nothing good ever came from Alabama.

    Right, @Ancalagon?

    You know the peanut butter you put on your balls to get your dog to ‘love’ you?

    Guess by whom and where that was invented?

    To be clear I mean the peanut butter. Not the putting on your balls part. That was probably a Canadian inventor.

    Geography Meme reader and commentator Drew Durnil is from 'Bama. But he adopted California.
    But I'll consider him the only* good thing from Alabama.

    Okay.

    How about an adopted Bammer?

    It’s been a while since Fourth Grade Alabama History, so I don’t remember exactly where he came from but Wernher von Braun and some of his friends were moved to bumfuck Alabama after some war (Soviets wouldn’t look there) and thanks to the natural intelligence of the region they figured out how to put Man on the Moon!

    Beat that! HA’HA!

    Fun fact every Alabamian gets to do a little mini-Space Camp in 6th grade at the Marshall Space Flight Center.

    Also, due to all the aerospace jobs between Marshall and Redstone Arsenal (the military rocket and missile development center) Huntsville is now one of the most highly educated and diverse cities in the entire Southeast.

    For real. The largest lantern festival in the nation is in Huntsville:

    And all because some dudes from… somewhere were smuggled there.

    True fact. They also brought ice skating which (along with hockey) is now a thing in NC Alabama.

    First time I ever ice skated was on our 6th grade trip.

    If that's the new goal post, Col Sanders was Canadian.

    I'd also submit that the Huntsville thing just means a bunch of smart folks moved there from elsewhere... I mean, we've got London and Kitchener which are both pretty tech heavy, but that does nothing to fix the hicks :P

    Considering how big Ontario is, it's surprising you don't have more hicks :bigass:
