My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Eddie Rickenbacker pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

So Edison is from Ohio AND Michigan? I thought he spent his "formative years" in Michigan.

Thomas Edison did not invent the lightbulb. He made a more practical, marketable incandescent light.

Because this site is about positivity. Or at least positive negativity. Anyhow, the easiest way to appease those who agree with @Hammond7249 would be to simply put quotation marks around the word "invented."

Did you know Ohio is the only US state with at least one city/town that starts with each letter of the alphabet? See how many you can name! http://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/103225/ohio-cities-a-z

McKinley and Taft are generally considered to have been solid, slightly above-average presidents. But yeah, the rest of Ohio's list is not super great.

Bwahahahahaha! Right, because dunking a basketball is of such greater consequence than, oh say, pioneering space travel or inventing an airplane or light bulb. *barf*

Yeah, I got hung up on that as well. I knew he was governor of New Hampshire, but thought maybe they mentioned he was born in Ohio. When it didn't work, I remembered there were two other presidents on the show. Took a while to remember Santos' name, and I was unable to remember John Goodman's character name at all. Felt a bit silly when I realized it was asking for the actor.

Weird, but "Top U.S. WWI flying ace" doesn't accept "Snoopy."

Clark Gable was not FROM Akron, he went to work there. He was born in Cadiz, Ohio.... Also, William McKinley was BORN in Niles, Ohio. There used to be a bar called the Old Main where his birthplace cabin was, but it has since closed for a McKinley museum. We used to go to the Old Main with my parents after high school football games. Please update your quiz with factual data.

Correct, Clark Gable is from Cadiz, not Akron! My great grandma grew up in Cadiz and she and Clark Gable had the two lead roles in their senior year high school play. My mom still has the play bill with their names together on it.
