One Bizarre Fact About Every U.S. State

Fifty states, fifty facts, one each, and I have tried hard to avoid the ones you have already heard. No fake weird laws, no urban legends. A town that has been on fire since 1962, a state that forgot to get admitted to the Union, a legislature that nearly voted to change the value of pi, and a border with 697 sides. Alphabetical order, so you know roughly when yours is coming. Timestamps for all fifty are below if you want to skip straight to your state.
