Austin, Texas AKA Babylon on the Brazos

As has been already pointed out, wrong river. If anything, that would offend UT students because their rival school Texas A&M is on the Brazos River (dittos with Baylor University, but who cares about them?)

And I don't get the Babylon reference. Sodom and Gomorrah? Yeah, I can see that, because I feel as vexed as Lot much of the time.

Babylon was the home of the world's most powerful nation and leader of all history, and was characterized as the gold head in Nebuchadnezzar's dream. There may be a bunch of fruits hanging around here, but that doesn't make them the ancient wonder Hanging Gardens
