It's a Thursday night and I'm watching TV while waiting for my whipping cream to cool so I can finish a birthday cake for PU#1s boss. Yes, Harmonica, it is your favorite. Anyway, I'm watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire which I'm sure is a rerun. So they have this 5th grade teacher on and after all the joke about being smarter than the class that she teaches the game begins. Now this is what surprised me.
Question: (something like this) Which state, which includes the city of Birmingham, names hematit it's state mineral?
Selections: Pennsylvania, Alabama, something else and another state
Teacher's Answer: I make all my students learn the name of all their states and their capitals. My final answer is Alabama.
My question: When did Birmingham become the state capital of Alabama?
I'm just saying...if you are going to go on national TV, you might want to make sure you know your state capitals.
