	Had a lot of fun playing this. Surprised at a few of these names (but they were all guesses for this northern boy). Bonus points for the PA bonus answer.

	Love the 'extras'. I'll have to play until I find them all. 5/5, and a cookie for you! :->

	love the quiz. lived there for 15 years did not even know half, some were guesses. One more bonus could be Palestine, in north east Texas. Had a freind live there( I know not a country but would add to the Trivia.

	I saw Palestine and meant to add it as a bonus, it's in there now!

	There's also Nederland, Texas, which is how the Dutch call their country (so Nederland is Dutch for Netherlands)

	The thought of someone coming to a place in Texas, to desert, or a swamp, and saying "Hey, let's call this Sweden!" is kind of funny.

	Bonus answer for Iraan?

	tomahaha:	Nov 10th, 2010 at 17:27 GMT	1 point
	Either I missed it in the list linked or it wasn't on that list, no matter as I see it does exist and it really doesn't match but Yes, good call, it is added to the (growing) list of bonuses

	if stereotypes about texas are true, I wonder how many people who live in these towns can locate their namesakes on a map

	I was actually going for Lebanon, IN to see if you had a bonus for that; didn't actually know that there was a Lebanon, PA.

	Little Johnny's in Sunday School, and the teacher asks, "Little Johnny, do you know where Jesus was born?" Johnny says, "Paris." "No Little Johnny. Try again." "Athens?" "No Little Johnny, Jesus was born in Palestine." Little Johnny snapped his finger and says, "Dang it! I knew it was somewhere in east Texas."

	Not sure whether Georgia and Turkey take their name from the respective countries, or one from another US state and the other from a kind of fowl.

	TreehuggnCowgirl:	Nov 11th, 2010 at 21:30 GMT	2 points
	Turkey's named after the bird. I don't know about Georgia, but there's also a Texas, Georgia.

	China Grove is right outside San Antonio, in Bexar County. (Brazoria County is near Houston) Remember the song? "down around San Antone..."
