What Don’t You Know About Kentucky?

Do you know what Kentucky has in common with states like Washington, New York, Maine, Hawaii, and others? Do you know that I really shouldn't even call it a state?

Do you know why Kentucky eventually became a state? Do you know what Kentucky's state tree is? (Well, it's not the world's largest sassafras which sits over there in the 2200 block of Frederica. And we all know it oughta be.)

Do you know how the Kentucky Derby came to be?

Well, the answers to these and other burning questions--15, to be exact--about the Bluegrass State (oops, I called it a state, again) can be found in this article at mentalfloss.com.

Oh, and by the way, I knew the answer to Number 5. I think you will, too.
