24. Hell's Canyon is the deepest gorge in America.

Alaska claims "The Great Gorge" at Mt. McKinley at 9,000 feet. http://www.gi.alaska.edu/InfoOffice/gorge.html (Of course, the bottom is stuffed with snow and ice. So an argument can be made either way, but Alaska is sure to win when global warming kicks in.)

Hell's Canyon is 7900 feet.

I'll throw in a rant for free.

American Falls is unique from most communities< rant > Something is either unique or it isn't. If there is anther one like it, it can't be unique, it can only be rare. It can't be unique from most communities (which is questionable grammar for other reasons) to be unique there can't be any other communities to which that happened (and there were, where the TVA built its lakes). < /rant >

I do appreciate these posts from you. This is about the most fun that I've had since people started to refuse to play Trivial Pursuit with me.

What's interesting about these facts and trivia lists is they often credit the source at the end of the list. These sources range from Encarta to "Axillary of Little Blue Haired Ladies."

As for "The Great Gorge", are we talking about continental US again? ;^)

Rant all you want, I'm beginning to enjoy your analysis more than the actual trivia lists.

7. In Idaho law forbids a citizen to give another citizen a box of candy that weighs more than 50 pounds.

Is that a rare law or is it unique?
