Number 9: We're still holding beard-growing contests with Peter Jackson.
Number 8: To the best of our knowledge, the Governor of Illinois hasn't tried to sell us.
Number 7: You don't have to be in bed to count sheep.
Number 6: Find out if the water really does go down the wrong way.
Number 5: Our police force is actually Xena, Warrior Princess.
Number 4: We have awesome adventure tourism, such as phone throwing with Russell
Crowe.
