>By the way, if you think I'm trying to ask these obscure questions because I somehow plan to use them on some weird, non-existent assignment: not true. You may believe me or not. I'm an economics and accounting major attending college in Missouri. There is no class I could take where this information would be remotely relevant. And no this isn't some god-awful high school assignment where the teacher says do a book report on another state. No high schooler on earth would inquire with this type of depth about PA. They would just squirm around and say, "PA is in the Northeast, aaaand there's Philadelphia where the Constitutional Convention was, aaand it gets all four seasons, aaand can I use the bathroom now?"
