A Texas Quiz

I was wondering how many Texas fun facts I could still recall the other day, so I googled "Texas facts," and several sites popped up.  One of these sites quoted the Texas pledge DIFFERENTLY from the pledge I remembered.  Come to find out, in 2007 the state legislature added the phrase "one state under God."  I want to put that out there for anyone (Hm Hm... Jared) who would say that I misquoted the pledge that I DID quote it correctly for many a year.

Anyway, the point of this is to present a quiz for those who truly are Texans, and those who (though they were not born there) still claim to be. (Like me).  

See what you know and what you remember.  And for those of you who are from someplace else, see what you can recall about your own state.  I didn't even know that some of these things were claimed by a state.  I mean, a state vegetable?  Really?  Well, here's the quiz:

1.  State abbreviation

2. State capital

3. State nickname

4. State motto

5. State flower

6. State tree

7. State bird

8. State song (And can you sing any of it?)

9. State pledge

10. State large mammal 

11. State small mammal

12. State flying mammal (Yes, that's real!)

13. State shell

14. State fish

15. State insect

16. State reptile

17. State plant

18. State grass

19. State fruit

20. State vegetable

21. State gemstone

22. State stone

23. State dinosaur

24. Largest city

25. Draw a picture or describe your state flag

If anyone can correctly name at least 15 answers about your state without cheating (regardless of what state you're from), you should get a prize, and maybe you will.
