Like...big error. To be more accurate, it is about 425 miles from West to East, and while that is still not as much length as NC has...the Tarheel State has been known to...stretch things a bit.

So, let's look at real statistics, like....land area and population. Washington State has a land area of 66,544 sq. miles, and a population of only 6.7 million peeps. Whereas North Carolina has a puny land area of only 48,711 sq. miles, and an overabundence of peeps to the tune of 9.5 million.

Those numbers equate to: Washington...100 peeps per sq. mile North Carolina....195 peeps per sq. mile.

Good thing neither of us live in New Jersey...1185 peeps per sq. mile

Take that, you...tarheelian
Ha! just had to pull your chain. Do you know where pull your chain phrase came from? I was told it came from the mines. The poop car was on rails, and the last thing one would want was to be pushed down the track whilst you were doing your business! Thus miners had a length of chain that was places around the wheel to prevent being pushed down the track. Thus pull the chain and off one would go.
