Definitive proof that it is "y'all" and nothing else that separates us from the Yankees.

The collection of maps is fun to browse, although I think the results would make more sense if they weighted them according to how "y'all"ish or "yinz"ish a given territory is. That would at least make for prettier maps.

Why it can be annoying to use a $2 bill...

I should start saying "you lot" just to be annoying.

Not to beat a dead horse, but it would be nice to see the division of soda, pop, coke, and cola

People call it lemonade? What freaks. It's only in Florida though, which is full of people who can't figure out how to not vote for Buchanan, so I guess it makes sense.

Smoking is the leading cause of death among Americans, and incurs $155 billion in medical costs and productivity losses each year, according to the CDC.

Wow. I didn't know that, although it makes sense. Then again, this is wired news...

It says right there in your quote "according to the CDC." (and what does "Then again, this is wired news..." supposed to mean, anyway?)

Some facts from http://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/:

Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of death in the United States. Cigarette smoking causes an estimated 440,000 deaths, or about 1 of every 5 deaths, each year. This estimate includes 35,000 deaths from secondhand smoke exposure.

More deaths are caused each year by tobacco use than by all deaths from human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), illegal drug use, alcohol use, motor vehicle injuries, suicides, and murders combined.

Lung cancer (124,000), heart disease (111,000), and the chronic lung diseases of emphysema, bronchitis, and chronic airways obstruction (82,000) are responsible for the largest number of smoking-related deaths.

So, in summary, smoking sucks
(as for according to the CDC, doh, posted too soon)

Sweet Jesus. I think it goes without saying that I'll be getting one as soon as they're available.

What was that free e-mail site that was like purely for collecting spam? Like you just enter a username and it automatically creates an account that anyone can access?

You mean http://mailinator.com/ ?

Here's another one I've heard of, although I personally haven't used either:
