There's an airport in New Castle? Gee, I hadn't noticed..... :mrgreen:

The northern part is associated with the Appalachian Piedmont and is full of hills with rolling surfaces. South of Newark and Wilmington, the state follows the Atlantic Coastal Plain with flat, sandy, and, in some parts, swampy ground.
When the seas rise from global warming, there won't be a Delaware..... :twisted:

About Delaware's sea level argument, the same can be said for Florida, who's highest point is a "mountain" that's 350 ft. above sea level. Now if that's an argument, consider CO to be the best, Denver may be the "Mile High City", but it's lower by almost 1000 ft. than Colorado Springs, where I live. The lowest point is just over 5000 ft. above sea level. Plus, it's not California, that's why all of the "immigrants" keep moving! :laughing: Oh, and never been to Delaware, Texas, or Rhode Island (too small for a big guy like me!)

Rhode Island should just become Connecticut or people should consider NYC as its own state :P .

All states better than Texas? careful there are many a Texan here. :laughing:

It's just a bait thread. Holiday is in a Pissula mood so he's trying to light a fire. No biggie, he's not the first to try to ruffle feathers by picking on Texas.

See next will come jokes, insults, etc etc. That's normal. It's just inadequacies getting the best of the little guys.

It wasn't Holiday who said it. Anyhow I thought this was a funny thread and I did just watch an episode of SpongeBob where him and Patrick were making fun of Texas.

Everybody makes fun of Texas :wink:

I know Holiday didn't say what I quoted, he is the OP. I think he just has an itch in his crack about seeing "Texas" on a lot of posts (I noticed it too). Looking at those posts, it wasn't always a Texan that brought up the word.

Yeah - that map is off. Alaska is at least 2x the size of Texas and on that map, it looks like Texas is larger. ;)
