Just like you're the guy who thinks people in Indiana don't have Southern accents. BTW, I never said that fish fries or cream puffs were 100% unique to Wisconsin, just a widely recognized part of Wisconsin's culture. It's sorta like Blue Moon ice cream, I'm sure it's available in other states, but usually only people from Michigan and Wisconsin even know what it is.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fish_fry
"Fish fries are very common in the Midwestern and Northeastern regions of the United States. This is especially true for predominantly Roman Catholic communities on Fridays during Lent, when regulations calling for abstaining from most meat products are in effect. In Wisconsin, a fish fry is offered at almost all non-chain restaurants, taverns that serve food and some chain restaurants on Friday nights throughout the entire year."

No, but they're in the Midwest. No need to bring Northern regions in the equation when we're talking about the South and Midwest. Refer to that last map that was posted.

True, Indiana and Missouri are the 2 worst states for meth, followed by Tennessee, Kentucky, and California. That still doesn't change the fact that both Missouri and Indiana aren't anything like the rest of the Great Plains states or Great Lakes states that make up the rest of the Midwest region.

# of meth labs
1 Missouri 1471
2 Indiana 724
3 Tennessee 553
4 Kentucky 416
5 California 346

Guess the 329 in Michigan and 324 in Illinois which surround the state you say is nothing like the other Great Lakes states don't count?

I wasn't talking about Upper Michigan and Wisconsin. I was talking about Chicago.

LOL I don't know anyone who does meth.. Never even heard of a dealer. Must be a rural thing (where practically no one lives).

Moderator cut: link removed, linking to competitors sites is not allowedOral Health loss of natural teeth (most recent) by state

Does this website NOT prove the Southern Tooth loss stereotype to truth? The top 10 are all in the South. LOL. No hate.. just Akhen or whoever is disturbingly annoying...

No way! I figured somebody, someplace would keep track of this kind of stuff; but didn't figure a person could find it with all the other crap on the web. Cool find.
