On my way to church last night, I was listening to CarTalk. Click and Clack always make me laugh and their listeners are usually pretty funny as well. Last night, I wanted to yell at the radio. One young man called in from Oxford, Ohio: home of Miami University. Of course, the usual ribbing began, with Click or Clack teasing him about the name of the university. One of them went so far as to say: "Miami University? Didn't they think that might cause problems on down the road?" To which the young man replied:
Oh no. Miami University was founded in 1807; it's been around much longer than Florida!

Ha!
I love Car Talk too- I missed it this weekend, but we usually catch it while running errands or making trips on Saturdays.
And, I was trying to look up a source to disprove the Miami University student, I came across the Florida Wikipedia entry... He's right- Miami University has been a school longer than Florida has been a state. I think when people think 'Miami', though, Florida still comes to mind before Ohio!
