Last night Porta Rico voted to become the 51st state. It won't matter too much financially as we have been supporting them for ever. But it will add a complete state to the " Takers" list. These people well be entitled to two new Senators, and the usual number of Representatives, and they will be allowed to vote in our Federal elections.
TOPICS: Chit/Chat
KEYWORDS: 51ststate; portarico; puertorico

Do you know what day this is? Because I know what day this is, they know what day this is, so I was wondering if you know what day this is!

In theory other states can split (it has happened before with Massachusetts in 1820 and Virginia under questionable circumstances in 1863), but in the case of Texas it was agreed when they joined the US that they could divide into as many as five states. Of course in 1845 the territory of Texas was quite a bit larger than it is now.
There were a number of proposals over the years to divide Texas but none of them got anywhere. One practical problem--how could all five states have the Alamo?

And here I thought that porta johns were called ‘porta juans’ in Latin America.
