[edit] Discovery
Nebraska was discovered in 1869 when they also discovered football. For the history of Nebraska after 1869 please refer to the annual Nebraska Cornhusker Football Media Guides.
[edit] History
The only history worth knowing is Nebraska has 5 National Championships in football: 1970, 1971, 1994, 1995, and 1997. Nebraska hates Michigan for stealing half of the 1997 National Championship. Nebraska may have invented a unicameral legislature and was home to Strategic Air Command, but it was not listed in the annual Nebraska Cornhusker Football Media Guide so they are debatable facts. The Nebraska football team was originally called the "Bugg-Eaters". This was changed when someone (likely an out-of-state visitor) noticed how incredibly stupid it was. A survey was undertaken to find the strongest and most intimidating thing in the state, which turned out to be the retarded guy that sat behind the grain silo and husked corn everyday.
[edit] Achieving Statehood
Nebraska was awarded statehood by the United States of America after defeating Mexico in the Spanish-American-French-Indian-Canadian Civil War. Once again, this fract is not mentioned in any of the annual Nebraska Cornhusker Football Media guides...therefore it is up for debate.
[edit] Nebraska Today
Much of the state was purchased in 1992 by Ted Turner who plans to use bison grown there in his devious attack plans.
Nebraska is the only bisexual state in the United States. It always goes both ways during election time. Nebraska is the only state that allows for a split in the electoral vote. Since 1991, two of Nebraska's five electoral votes are awarded based on the winner of the statewide election while the other three go to the highest vote-getter in each of the state's three congressional districts. This fact was later embraced by Nebraska in a tourism slogan that said, "Nebraska, We Go Both Ways." But for anyone who has seen Boys Don't Cry, remember Nebraskans will off anyone who goes queer!
In recent months Nebraskans have made themselves out to be bear killers. This makes them to Great Leader Stephen Colbert what the Jews were to God. Except Nebraskans will kill Jews too if they wander too close to town. Anyways, in May 2008 a black bear wandered into the western Nebraska town of Harrison, where it threatened to kill all 12 residents of the community with its lasers and nunchucks. The state games and parks commision quickly realized this threat, and cornered it in a barn where it held a group of blue haired old ladies hostage. The game keepers killed it and will likely add it to the collection of dead stuffed critters at Ole's Big Game Steakhousein Paxton.
Nebraska is also a great place to go to get away from the kids...by leaving them in Nebraska. Under the state's Safe Haven law, and child under the age of 18 can be left at any hospital or other designated facility without penalty. [1] So if little Timmy is getting out of hand, just come to Nebraska and be rid of the brat. Unwanted children are then employed as labor by the corn industry.
[edit] Second Congressional District
Nebraska's Second Congressional district (The Fightin' Second!) gave it's electoral point to President-Elect Barack Obama. Making the district official an America Hater.

[edit] Famous Nebraskans
Nebraska is the birth place of many famous individuals, the two most prominent being William Jenings Bryan and James Sterling Morton. Yes, where would the United States be without a man who lost a presidential election (because he was a Democrat) and the man who founded Arbor Day (because trees were his only friends.
Others include (but are not limited to):
- Chief Standing Bear - person who convinced US courts that Native Americans were people
- Warren Buffett - rich guy
- Alex Gordon - MLB player for struggling Royals
- Richard Cheney - Dick
- Stephen Colbert - (born in every American state)
- Gerald Ford - Notable for being the only U.S. President to never be elected.
- Ben Nelson - Nebraska Democrat (But secretly a closet republican and more of a republican than the Nebraska Republican representative Chuck Hagel)
- Chuck Hagel - Nebraska Republican (means leans the right way automatically)
[edit] A Typical Day in Nebraska
Sucks. The Nebraskans spend indefinatly many hours working in corn fields and creating more areas of land fit to grow corn. They love beef. The smell of cow dung is, as a Nebraskan puts it, "the smell of money." If you are lucky enough to live downwind from a feed lot, you can "smell money" every day.
Nebraskans are also known to throw great tailgating parties and love to drink. On the weekends every Nebraskan goes out drinking and by Saturday evenening everyone is fully drunk and they form groups to go out and burn down liberal run school houses. After that they spend their time blowing things up and shooting everything in sight.
But the biggest weekend of drinking is known as "Czech Days" in Wilber Nebraska, where every year tens of thousands of people descend on this small town to get drunk on substandard beer in seedy beer gardens for 4 fun filled nights. You know the locals have accepted you if they puke on your shoes! But remember, they'll only accept you as long as you aren't Mexican!
