About Louisiana

Louisiana is a state in the Deep South and South Central regions of the United States. It is bordered by Texas to the west, Arkansas to the north, and Mississippi to the east. Of the 50 U.S. states, it ranks 31st in area and 25th in population, with roughly 4.6 million residents. Reflecting its French heritage, Louisiana is the only U.S. state with political subdivisions termed parishes, which are equivalent to counties, making it one of only two U.S. states not subdivided into counties. Baton Rouge is the state's capital, and New Orleans, a French Louisiana region, is its most populous city with a population of about 363,000 people. Louisiana has a coastline with the Gulf of Mexico to the south; a large part of its eastern boundary is demarcated by the Mississippi River; and the mouth of the Mississippi or delta defines much of its lower topography.

Creationists. Creationist sort of schools. They started teaching that the Loch Ness monster is real as solid scientific fact to help back up all of their creationist stuff.

  2. No, you want three walls. It's very confusing. One in North Dakota, one along the border between Kansas and Oklahoma to the east, and the third one in South Texas and Louisiana, we will diminish the tornado threats in Tornado Alley forever. He was presenting that research in 2014 to the annual meeting of American Physical Society in Denver. Everyone said it's nonsense, obviously, but he believes that it's a similar thing with mountain ranges and how they can curb tornadoes.

  4. Can you pretend you don't? No. Did they attach balloons to it and float it around? No. They use barges. They have a barge called Pegasus. They load the rocket on. Because it's from the assembly factory is in Louisiana. They need to get it to the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. It's 100 meters long. They just load the rocket on. Then it doesn't have an engine.
