David,
Having lived most of my life on the west coast, I know almost nothing about your homestate, I'm sorry to say. I did do a poetry reading in Evansville in 2003 to promote a book of mine, and that's as much time as I ever spent in Indiana and I would take your quiz if I could answer any questions, but I can't, cause I just don't know any answers!

--- Quote from: David on June 22, 2007, 01:38:14 am ---Yeah, I remember reading about that pluto water. Lithium occurs naturally throughout Indiana, I think. I know it's found in southern and central Indiana. That's why the state government is trying to switch everyone from well water to city water.

So does that mean no one is bipolar there?
