Don't ask me what state Idaho is in––news flash––Idaho IS a state.

that's right, my home state is, in fact, a state and it's awesome. A-W-E-S-O-M-E. awesome! i've always thought so myself, but now even buzzfeed agrees. check it!

number 36 is my favorite.

also, please indulge me as i add a few points of my own to round out the list at an even 50:

46. jewel wrote a song about my hometown, which is in idaho


47. potatoes are delicious and we do, in fact, grow more of them than any other state. what would thanksgiving be without those delicious mashed taters? and yours probably came from idaho. we're also the number one producer of trout, austrian winter peas and lentils.


48. idaho is home of the deepest river gorge in north america. hell's canyon is 7,900 feet deep. at it's deepest point, the grand canyon is only 6,000. take that arizona!


49. we can tell where a person is from just by glancing at their license plate. like whoever belonged to this plate was from the boise area. of course, if they have vanity plates, then all we know for sure is that they have vanity plates.


50. i live here, and i'm pretty much the coolest kid you know.

"next week i plan on doing a musical number by ke$ha"

i just found out that ke$sha's ($eriously? a $ instead of an actually s? what, exactly, is the proper pronunciation of a $???) "tik-tok" (not how it's spelled, sweetheart) sold more copies than any beatles single. let me repeat that for you.

Ke$ha's “Tik-Tok” sold more copies than ANY Beatles single

Also more than anything by Adele or Nirvana.

i think i might cry myself to sleep tonight. i mean, i don't completely loathe "tik-tok." i listen to it when i clean and stuff, but COME ON! the beatles are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
more disappointing facts here

okay, rant over. also, i find this video absolutely hilarious ;)
