Ok, this should be an easy one...Ben Franklin was furious when the Bald Eagle was chosen as a national symbol for the United States, what animal did he want?

A turkey...and that was close Furcal

here's one the south floridans may know easily: what were the original termini for the florida's turnpike when it opened in 1957?

 

extra points for those that know the official florida state road designation.

No. I learned this when I went to visit Andrew Jackson's home in Tennessee. Jackson is known as the founder of the Democratic Party, but throughout his term as President, his political rivals would always refer to him as a jackass. Didn't bother Jackson one bit and thus the party adopted the donkey as its symbol.

 

Another one for you guys...Name the only President to serve as Supreme Court Justice and another President served in Congress, both after their terms as President were finished. Who were they?

Ha, all I know about the creation of Florida's turnpike is that the state promised the people that there would only be tolls to pay till the road was fully paid for. Boy what a lie that turned out to be.

Ok, a tricky one...what states does Illinois border?

 

missouri, iowa, wisconsin, indiana, kentucky, tennessee.

 

No on Tennessee.

 

The easternmost tip of Tennessee is closer to Canada than it is to Memphis.

 

No way, really?
