For your entertainment, some interesting facts about the state of HI. For no reason in particular:
- The state of Hawaii consists of 8 main islands.
- Hawaii is the only state that grows coffee. Paradise.
- More than 1/3 of the world's commercial supply of pineapples come from Hawaii.
- There are only 12 letters in the Hawaiian alphabet: Consonants are H, K, L, M, N, P, W. Vowels are A, E, I, O, U.
- Hawaii was formed from undersea volcanoes hundreds of years ago.
- Hawaii is the 50th state admitted to the union in 1959.
- Hawaii is known as the "Aloha State".
- The state fish is the Humuhumunukunuku apua'a, also known as the reef triggerfish.
- Honolulu is the state capital.
- Hawaii is an archipelago. Channel your 4th grade geography teacher for that one.
Hope your having a great Wednesday. I'm not doing anything particularly special.
