1. Also that unpopulated.

Smallest population in the Union, and way up there for smallest population density as well. Would be in first place there too, were it not for Alaska.

3. It is a beautiful state... wonder why it's so underpopulated?

No jobs, probably??

7. No water.

Edited on Mon May-02-05 03:01 PM by Jackpine Radical

A 19th century visitor commented "Give this place enough water & it would be Heaven."

A local answered, "The same thing's true of Hell."

Edited to add: And the wind. Oh my God, the wind. If the wind ever stopped all at once, everyone in the state would simultaneously fall over for lack of having it to lean into.

4. Wyoming is about the third reddest state

In addition to Cowboys and Oil, Wyoming has produced some noteworthy names recently including Dick Cheney and Matthew Shepard. However, my cousin is a Democratic State Representative in Wyoming and it does have some truly awesome scenery.

5. Beautiful beautiful country, teeny tiny population.

I've spent some time in the Snowy Mountain Range, and it is absolutely awesome. If you want to see some unspoiled wilderness, but don't want to deal with Yellowstone crowds, get out and about to the rest of Wyoming.

9. Wyoming has 1 rep per 168,843 people...CA 1 per 652,614 people

Edited on Mon May-02-05 03:11 PM by SoCalDem

WYO 2 senators & 1 congress

CA 1 senators & 53 congress

if you count Cheney (since he claims to be from WY), it drops to 1 for every 126,632 people

11. Gotta love the pic in your sig line ;-)

Did you know there are rumours the Scream has been burnt to ashes by the art thieves? Sad if so.

Good pic, though! :-)

13. NO!!! That's one of my favourite paintings.

Though Munch painted a number of versions of it.

That's so disgusting.
:mad: :grr:

Munch has painted some fantastic works-- "The Scream" being only one of them. He painted one called, "The Sun" and it's gorgeous.

14. I have a feeling they told the cops that to make them go away

Edited on Mon May-02-05 08:17 PM by SoCalDem

It's probably haning in some rich guy's den..

Famous paintings are stolen "to order".. That's been gone while now.. at least I think so :)

15. It's really a tiny painting, too (I've read)

Though sure as hell is powerful. Munch was brilliant.

16. Yes, you got a point there

The destruction was just rumours, but rumours with some hold; thieves was thought to have panicked because of several arrests lately that relate to another robbery.

But, hopefully it will be returned :-)
