(<a href="http://www.ct.gov/ctportal/cwp/view.asp?a=885&q=246504">Praying mantis</a>) And, no, I had no idea what a troubador was either. If pressed, I'd probably say bull fighter..

I'm going to try to come up with some additions to the official state "x" roster... Alaska has 2 state mammals, one marine (whale) the other terrestrial (moose).

It's not quite only-in-RI. Come to think of it, we had Del's at the County Fair, I think maybe the Cape is trying to become part of Rhode Island.

I have a friend from Attleboro who wishes she was a RIer (though she now lives in Texas...) If I were governor, I'd take the Cape, but only as a protectorate. It's time to make RI an imperial power. Then we could put up that wind farm, NIMBYs be damned. Also, with the addition of P-town to RI's purview, the state would become by far the most fabulous in the nation.
