  • When I was about 6, I went fishing with my Dad in Western PA, where we lived. He accidentally hooked a hellbender, and it was freaking terrifying. I had nightmares well into adulthood.

    yeah... no...
  • Fog. So much fog in that goddamn state and people barreling along the highway at 80mph in the middle of the night even though they can't see 10 feet in front of them.
  • I haven't seen many fireflies in quite a few years. When we first moved to SW Pennsylvania in the summer of '86 they were everywhere during the summer evenings. I've been at my current place since September '19 and I don't think I've seen any. And this area is fairly rural.

    Hellbenders are so cute, though!

  • State Fish: Brook Trout

    This trout is the only trout species native to Pennsylvania. They love clean and pure water...

  • The sawhorse is the state animal... every road is always under construction... and potholes.  We can actually feel it in the car when we enter PA.

    There's a few, it's true.  But Pennsylvania has some of the smartest people in the world at universities like CMU.  They had a self driving car that could do the cannonball run in 2002.

    Also, don't underestimate rednecks. I met a kid in high school at a science event. West Virginia. His hobbies were hunting and off-roading, and doing complicated trig proofs when he couldn't do the first two. He's probably been designing robots or something for the last 20 years.

    It's a pretty old story. I heard it on a bus down in Scranton from an old man who said "Boy," he said, "Boy, that sure must've been something. Just imagine thirty thousand pounds of bananas. Yes, there were thirty thousand pounds of mashed bananas."

    Maybe if they used a picture from PA instead of NY they might still have fish?
