Kirsten Jorgensen almost didn't get this shot. She was getting ready to leave after taking pictures of the solar eclipse in Lewiston, Idaho, and then a plane approached. It was probably American Airlines flight 9661, as later research indicated. She tells about the moment it happened:

I was about to pack my stuff up and go back inside, but I had my camera set up and in the direction of the sun when I was taking pictures. All of the pictures were ending up looking like the moon pretty much so I gave up. Then I saw the plane fly over and ran over to take a photo. It caught me off guard!

The result is beautiful, and you might see it in many places over the next few days. Or years. -via reddit

For New Jersey, their choice of "Salt water taffy" is met with NO NO NO!!! I've seen lists like these before, and invariably they are unaware of the true NJ delicacy known as Tailor Ham, or pork roll.

Dear Cincinatti,
Cinnamon in chili is just weird, but chocolate in it? That's simply unforgivable. If you've ever wondered why your chili is constantly covered with a pound of cheddar and almost always served over spaghetti or hot dogs, it's because it is too terrible to eat on its own.

On an unrelated note. What is a Mission-style burrito? I'm from CA and I've never had one of those. Here in San Diego, most people just get bean and cheese, carne asada or the California, which comes with carne asada and french fries.

This person says "I mean, it's salmon. Whoop-de-fuckin'-do. I like mine with extra board." Which leads me to believe they haven't actually tried my state's and probably alot of other state's delicacy while making this list. Problem with making a top list is that it's always not objective and usually not based on polls on popular opinion. It's based on the likes of the person who made the list.
