Sooooooooooooooooo I'm sure you just scrolled past my Wife's Birthday Post (well I'd wager you did because it is like 2 articles up ^^) but Here's something that I'd like to talk about because it is friggin cool.

But to reiterate-- I just found out recently that MICHIGAN HAS AN UNDERWATER STONEHENGE!!!! Yeah that's right! aaaaaaaaaaaaaand I'm michigan classic fashion there's a fun twist that keeps the destination from being oversaturated by tourists-- It is underwater in Lake Michigan :-)

That's right lords and Lasses, we got ourselves our own monolithic structure so SUCK IT ENGLAND! (except you Leanne, much love)

In 2007, a team of underwater archaeologists stumbled upon a pattern of rocks that appeared to be arranged in a geometric formation. Unlike the well-known Stonehenge in England, which consists of massive stones stacked in a circular pattern, the stones in Lake Michigan are not stacked but seem to form a distinct shape. This has led to speculation about their origins. (Michigan4u.com)

Things like this are completely meaningless but that is especially important in knowing them.  I <3 Stumbling (as continuously stated)

Michigan Slang/Colloquialisms

There are some words and phrases we use in Michigan that aren't often used elsewhere around the country. Different areas of Michigan have different terms for tourists and for locals.

The Mitten: (proper noun, it's the name of a state for Pete's sake!)
This refers to the State of Michigan because, on a map, it's shaped like a mitten. Mittens are of extreme importance to Michiganders because it can get fairly cold here.
