	Way to much time, and I don't know how you don't have Michigan for states with a peninsula. I mean the state is made up of two peninsulas.

	In addition to Michigan, Massachusetts also has a peninsula (Cape Cod).

	How can you forget Michigan? I mean, the state motto of Michigan is "Si Quaeris Peninsulam Amoenam Circumspice," which is Latin for "If you seek a pleasant peninsula, look about you."

	What about the Olympic Peninsula in Washington?

	tillmaniac38:	Dec 7th, 2010 at 06:36 GMT	22 points
	so much time!! I just typed in all of the states.

	smooph:	Dec 7th, 2010 at 06:38 GMT	15 points
	California also has a peninsula...

	A peninsula is just a piece of land that is surrounded mostly by water. There is no requirement for size or naming, so basically every state with coastline has multiple peninsulas.

	mjkelly42:	Dec 7th, 2010 at 14:18 GMT	8 points
	All of these states have peninsulas: Hawaii, Alaska, Washington, Oregon, California, Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania. And probably every single other state, since they all have at least one lake in them somewhere.

	connecticut also has a panhandle (albeit a short one).

	vegashokie:	Dec 7th, 2010 at 16:37 GMT	7 points
	And Nevada has a building over 900 feet. The Stratosphere Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

	If Nebraska has a panhandle, they all do!

	cricket0414:	Dec 7th, 2010 at 19:14 GMT	6 points
	too much time - you can type all the states in less than this and Michigan has a peninsula.

	aaaandrew:	Dec 7th, 2010 at 20:02 GMT	1 point
	Thanks, dont know how I forgot Michigan. Shortened the time too.

	eg74:	Dec 7th, 2010 at 20:39 GMT	2 points
	got it with 1 second left don't know how i almost forgot arkansas

	conradmcmasters:	Dec 7th, 2010 at 21:52 GMT	3 points
	With all the comments about "how can you forget Michigan", I feel 100% dumb considering that is the only answer I didn't get. Way too much time though.

	msblast6:	Dec 7th, 2010 at 21:54 GMT	6 points
	maryland has a panhandle too

	GoodRiddance856:	Dec 7th, 2010 at 22:32 GMT	12 points
	I will never call it the Willis Tower. Ever.

With a panhandle

	tcatron565:	Dec 7th, 2010 at 23:13 GMT	2 points
	Stupid Nebraska. >:(

	hoos1208:	Dec 7th, 2010 at 23:18 GMT	4 points
	you're missing soooooooo many states with peninsulas, notably washington, louisiana, and massachusetts

	look at the thing on the top

	amwoods13:	Dec 8th, 2010 at 02:24 GMT	3 points
	California definitely has a peninsula with San Francisco located on the tip of it. They even call the land to the west of the San Francisco Bay "the Peninsula."

	satyadasa:	Dec 8th, 2010 at 05:39 GMT	3 points
	Too much time. Can easily just type all the states in 2 minutes.

	Alex951998:	Dec 8th, 2010 at 12:04 GMT	1 point
	Too much time, but Curse You Las Vegas!

	Some of your panhandle states are a bit ... odd. Here's an easy way to determine if a state has a panhandle. Imagine the state is the size of a normal frying pan, and that pan is full of boiling grease. Is the part that sticks out long enough to safely pick up the pan? If not, that is not a panhandle. It's just a crooked spot on the state line.

	zifyoip:	Dec 9th, 2010 at 00:49 GMT	3 points
	Here's another easy way to determine if a state has a panhandle: Google "[State] panhandle." I'm not normally in favor of using Google search results as a source to back up an argument, but from this you'll see that Alaska, Connecticut, Florida, Idaho, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas, and West Virginia have areas commonly referred to as panhandles, while Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Utah, and Virginia don't. Alabama and Maryland are questionable; most of the first few results for Alabama are for a company called "Alabama Panhandle Fluid Power LLC." @ClintT13: Your method would seem to conclude that Texas does not have a panhandle, for example, but the existence and common acceptance of the Texas Panhandle is pretty indisputable.

	New Mexico also has a panhandle although it is short and stubby!

	zifyoip:	Dec 9th, 2010 at 17:20 GMT	3 points
	New Mexico and Missouri have bootheels, not panhandles.

	rockhopperlad:	Dec 12th, 2010 at 00:38 GMT	2 points
	Wisconsin's Door Peninsula is rather well-known. It should surely be included.

	british:	Jun 2nd, 2011 at 04:17 GMT	0 points
	any state on the water is going to have a peninsula...plus there is WAY too much time. you can type in all the states and the time wouldnt even be halfway done.
