So does that mean no one is bipolar there?
--- End quote ---
Maybe.
Or maybe it means 2/3 of all Hoosiers are addicted to lithium whether they're bipolar or not. ;)

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!

I live in Sydney, Australia, Rayn, and what I knew about Indiana, prior to taking David's quiz, could fit on the back of a postage stamp. I only knew a couple of things I'd heard David talk about at his blog. But I was keen to know more, so went to the Web and gleaned as much information as I could put together. I was careful not to read any of the previous responses prior to submitting my own responses. I had a lot of fun answering David's Indiana quiz and learnt a great deal about his home state, from the Web, in the process. How about giving it a go, yourself? It's fun! :D
