Rood Eylandt or Rhode Island

I was poking around today and discovered that the official name of Rhode Island is actually Rhode Island and Providence Plantations. Now ain't that sump'm! That's a lotta name for a place that would fit on Square Butte.

It seems that this cat, Roger Williams and the boys in his hood got tired of the church lady in the Massachusetts Bay Colony and bugged out for a place where they could have a cold beer every now and then. So Roge gets a chunk of land from the Indians for an Ipod and a bag of weed. You never hear any stories where the settler says "Chief this real estate is worth at least a million five, do you take plastic?"

Anyway the mainland of the state is actually the Providence Plantations and there are a couple of tiny islands out there floating around called Rhode Island.

Now you know the rest of -------------------------"The Boring Story"


does Rhode Island state of mind mean that I'm small minded?
