This southeastern province is known for its hurricanes, and yet, we call it "the sunshine state." Must be all the oranges.
What is Florida?

Presented to the United States in 1886 as a gift from France, some describe this humungous torch carrier as a near-universal symbol of freedom and democracy. Even the rudest New Yorker might think so everytime he sees it.
What is The Statue of Liberty?

This comic strip lasted for 50 years, and it became increasing hard for the man doing it to keep it up -- he suffered from Parkinson’s Disease at the end. But we never saw any shaking hands on characters like Linus, Lucy or Snoopy ... maybe a little bit on Charlie Brown.
What is Peanuts?

He was the 35th president, known just as much for his initials as he was for the Bay of Pigs Invasion, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Space Race ... and being assassinated in Dallas in 1963.

Any farmboys in the house? This is one of the most productive agricultural states, producing high yields of wheat, sorghum, and sunflowers. It was also known for a certain weather phenomenon, unfortunately for Dorothy.
What is Kansas?

They completed this monstrous suspension bridge in 1937 so that San Franciscans could traverse the Bay to visit Marin County and any place northward. The 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake didn't even dent it, so you know it's a tough bridge to leave your heart in.
What is The Golden Gate Bridge?

This effort is hailed as the world’s most widely syndicated comic strip. Though it has recently gained a reputation for being bland and apolitical, it actually had far more complex and involved storylines in the '80s and '90s. Plus, it allowed Bill Murray to voice a feline in the movie version.
What is Garfield?

This American Founding Father not only served as our third president, he was the principal author of the Declaration of Independence (1776). Got democracy? He has a lot of say about it, as well as the rights of man with worldwide influence.

This southern hick haven has often been stereotyped as a "poor, banjo-picking hillbilly" state, a reputation dating back to early accounts of the territory by frontiersmen in the early 1800s. Give it a break, people -- it's Bill Clinton's state, and a paradise for duck hunters, y'all.
What is Arkansas?

Who would've thought the thing that holds back the mighty Colorado River would be so art deco? But this Southern Nevada object is all that, while it also creates hydroelectric power and helps provides water for seven states.
What is the Hoover Dam?

Bill Watterson drew this strip from 1985 to 1995, always refusing to merchandise it, but it sold us the ideas of a 6-year-old boy who gets consistently terrible grades in school, but sounds like a PhD during his long discussions of religion, politics, and morality with his best friend, a stuffed tiger.
What is Calvin and Hobbes?
300
This man sported a "cowboy" persona and robust masculinity besides founding the first incarnation of the short-lived Progressive ("Bull Moose") Party of 1912. He was the youngest president ever; no wonder they named the Teddy Bear after him.

This northwestern state is the fourth largest in the whole country, but 44th in population size. Still, a lot of members from other populations crowd into the state's Yellowstone Park every year, and the state name is the Spanish word for "mountain."
What is Montana?

In the midst of South Dakota’s Black Hills, you get four 60-foot-high likenesses for the price of one carved into a massive granite cliff; a lot tourists call it America’s most famous memorial, not a presidential tourist trap.
What is Mount Rushmore?

Gary Larson unveiled this single-panel-format strip, giving us no storylines at all, but instead random humorous observations, most of them a bit bizarre. Larson claimed he came up with most of his good ideas "late at night when his nose was an inch from the paper." We won't ask what kind of paper.
What is The Far Side?
400
This 18th century Founding Father was a leading advocate of American independence from Great Britain as well as a lifelong opponent to slavery, never having bought one himself. Oh and by the way, he was our second president, after he called the vice presidency an "insignificant office."

Known as the "Land of 10,000 Lakes", the state's name comes from a Dakota word for "clear water." And it's the state where you can have twins in and amongst the state's "twins."

This one-time Franciscan mission stands as a monument to the 189 Texan volunteers who fought and died here during a 13-day siege in 1836 by Mexican general Antonio López de Santa Anna. Guess who lost? And we're supposed to REMEMBER this monument?
What is The Alamo?

Politics, anyone? Even though liberal Garry Trudeau drew this, it is quite popular with both sides of the aisle. Not only that, but it was the first comic strip ever to win a Pulitzer Prize.

This president's non-controversial notables included the forming of the United Nations and the Marshall Plan to rebuild Europe (after WW2). His controversial stuff? How about using atomic bombs against Japan to force their surrender?
