You forgot to brag about now Nixon is from California too! Woohoo!


Aside from the entire movie industry and tech industry and almost all entertainment in every form, we have the most diverse land (desert, snow, beaches, Redwood forests, urban sprawl, tons of farms, orchards, and suburbs, and everything from the cleanest air to the nastiest smog).

We have the first and best freeway, the one that replaced ToonTown so it could connect Los Angeles and Pasadena.

Hawaii owns us on beaches though.

California also has the best public universities and public community colleges.

The Californian poet Jim Morrison said both "The West is the best" and "Ride the snake." He speaks the truth.


@Kasz, I'm sure those IQ tests have lower averages in states with more immigrants. I'm not saying immigrants are stupid. But I am saying that IQ tests are usually biased towards a particular language and a particular cultural upbringing, and I'd need to know more about those tests. I've taken an IQ test that was in English, but failed it because it was intended for Australians.
