I second that question.
I am very surprised that my beloved Texas was ranked so low.

My conspiracy theory: Why do 19 of the top 20 states also need a boost in tourism?

Ah. It's based largely on healthcare. That explains why Texas was lower than I thought.

anyway, on top of a supermodel would me more preferable?
Maryland is 22nd?
I thought we had wonderful healthcare.
Washington, DC being last I suppose I can understand.
best place to die:
nestled lovingly between two of the world hottest supermodels.
(at a young age)
:fluffle:
nestled lovingly between the legs of the current Miss Universe.
(at an old age of 100+)
:D
Damn. Only 44th? That needs to be worked on...
3rd!
Its good to be third!

WHAT?
There's a superstition which follows that it is extremely unlucky to be the last person buried in a graveyard.

This is the dumbest ranking I have ever heard of. First off, they have missed the boat in all the southern states. In all southern states, old people are cared for by their family. That is how it worked with every relative of mine. They stayed in their house, and family would help pay bills or cook meals.
So if we don't have such good old folk homes, it is because we take care of em ourselves.

No, really! Some guy came at me with a knife, and a mime jumped out in front of me, took the knife in the stomach, and karate-kicked the guy's head off. It was Crazy!!
