Delaware became the 11th state to legalize same sex marriage. :)

The Minnesota state house has scheduled a vote on it Thursday, and the  MN state senate may vote on Saturday.

Well done Delaware.
If we don't get gay marriage before September, not a great chance of it before 2016.

I did not know Delaware was a state. If anything, it sounds like a company that specializes in those wall-mountable plates with proverbs on it.

Yay Delaware I guess.

Delaware was the first state to join the Union.

It's one of those small and heavily populated states that make up a lot of the east coast. You know, from when the US was a bunch of small and sparsely populated states under the domain of a bunch of aristocrats and such.

According to this, Delaware is part of the North Florida / South Manhattan peninsula.

That isn't a peninsula, Canada just isn't on the map.

You are either unaware of the location of Canada, or unaware of the location of the NFSM Peninsula.

Dude, just look at the damn map. New England is not surrounded by large bodies of water on three sides, and is thus not a peninsula.

It is surrounded by the Atlantic, North Atlantic and great lakes, which flow into the north Atlantic through the St Lawrence sea way.

St Lawrence River is not anywhere near enough water to qualify as a peninsula.

If rivers are sufficiently large bodies of water, it is a peninsula. If not, it isn't. That's pretty much what it comes down to. NOW LET US FIND AN EVEN SILLIER THING TO ARGUE ABOUT.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

That's not even what I was talking about. I am referring to the whole of the Northeast, that's just the tiny thing Delaware is on.

Why would anyone call that a peninsula? You know there's a thing called Canada right?
