  • The smallest state...

    with the longest name? Am I the only one who's history teachers never mentioned this to?

    This state's official name - The State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations - is more than just a mouthful. To many, it evokes stinging reminders of Rhode Island's prime role in the trans-Atlantic slave trade.

              People are fucking Stupid. Keep the fucking name.

              I wish Connecticut had a badass name like that, but no, we are just 'Long River' in native American. Lame.

                    I knew it, but doubt school taught me that.
