Would you accept Super Dave Osborne for the daredevil question?

Or more spellings? His name is so hard to tell that I'd suggest anyone putting "evil" "eval" or "evel" should just get it.

Super Dave Osborne was a character played by Bob Einstein. A parody of Evel Knievel but not at all the same person. But I agree that there should be some leeway on Knievel's name.

I'm happy someone out there thinks there is someone out there who would actually think they were the same person.

Trying to think of other notable things related to Idaho...and it's pretty tough sledding. Ruby Ridge jumps out, and the blue football field. I just looked up famous people from Idaho and there really aren't any. Aaron Paul is probably the most famous. Sarah Palin and Victor Wooten were born there but raised elsewhere, and there are some C-list athletes too, but that's about it. Oh, and Larry Craig and his trademark "wide stance" when going to the bathroom. I also read that the super-rich are now buying up all the pristine nature in Idaho so they can ruin that too.

I once read this book that was set in Idaho. It's very well-written if extremely boring. In the book, the author says Idaho is a place where the entirety of human history has happened elsewhere.

That said, I'd have to say that Idaho is looking pretty good right about now. Definitely a top candidate for the next state to be ruined by fleeing Californians :)

As a resident of Idaho, this is absolutely true. So for any Californians out there, please use this map when planning your move here.

I found out that Mark Felt, also known as "Deep Throat", was from Twin Falls. Though outside of people who know more about the Watergate scandal, I don't think he's very well known.

Boise State's garishly blue football field is certainly unique and fairly well known.

Ernest Hemingway ended his own life in Ketchum which is a cool fact for social gatherings and happy occasions in need of a buzz kill.

It's one nine states that has a panhandle -- along with Alaska, Connecticut, Florida, Maryland, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas, and West Virginia.

I'd say that Ernest Hemingway, Patty Duke, Philo Farnsworth, and possibly Christina Hendricks would be more famous than Aaron Paul. Perhaps Farnsworth is lesser known outside tech circles, though.

I feel like that area of Yellowstone (the "Zone of Death) in Idaho where the law doesn't apply and crimes can be committed with imputiny is a cool trivia fact (or something useful to know if you wanna murder someone).

The kkk used to be located in cordalene and/ or David duke's white supremacy weirdos in the 80s. I remember hearing that as a kid and shivering. I'd still never want to live there it is not a culturally diverse state ; It has no ocean, langlocked and cold. No thanks. Having to drive 18 hours to the ocean? Yikes!

I'm in 6th Garde and in computer class in 3rd grade we did a State Study, I Drew Idaho randomly, and Learned about Evel Kneivel, but it never mentioned his name, I remebered the name sun valley, but I forgot that they skied. I forgot about Snake River, too
