One tidbit: Note that in the Miss America comic's top-right panel, The Statue of Liberty is on Bedloe's Island. The name of the island wasn't changed to Liberty Island until 1956. Also, it's crazy that it took only about an hour to travel to The Statue of Liberty and back, at least in the comic books. I've been there a few times, and it takes a minimum of 3 hours, between waiting and travel times.

This list should be called, "Random films that take place in these states". Why these movies? It seems like half are totally on the nose (Rocky for PA), while half have me scratching my head (Three Faces West for ND). There was no rhyme or reason behind the choices.

Step 1: Coat one brownie in ghost pepper powder. Step 2: Toss the brownie within sight of the bear, but far enough away that it doesn't reach a paw inside. Step 3: Film it, with your phone held HORIZONTALLY (very important). Step 4: Internet LOLs.

My main issue is the look of the Klingons. Despite being a really different look from other series', there's also the issue of whether or not they should even have ridges. In Star Trek: The Original Series, they had no ridges, because they didn't have affordable technology to do so on TV in the 1960s, and because the makeup wasn't even adopted for Klingons until the 1979 Star Trek: The Motion Picture. This was explained in the early 2000s series, Star Trek: Enterprise. In that series, the ridges disappeared prior to The Original Series due to the "Super Soldier Serum"-like eugenics concoction used to create Khan Noonian Singh and company, being used on Klingons and spreading like a virus to make the Klingons look more human, and ridding of them of their ridges for several generations. So, despite a claim by the producers of this show to make this new series canon within the confines of the television universe, and not the post-2009 movie universe, they already completely ignored one of the major facets of one of the major non-human races in the universe.

The story of the attempted battery refund brings up an interesting thought. I had something similar happen to me once in retail, so it makes me wonder...how many times in history has this stupid response happened? Did it happen in Ancient Babylon? In the earliest days of the barter system? Is this particular stupidity built into human evolution?

I remember seeing this news clip being replayed on a couple different shows, like That's Incredible and other comedy clip shows. I was amazed as a little kid at his gifts. He should really get into a rap battle with Eminem.
