What is it about Michigan?

This is a sort of a brain fart, I admit, but I think you'll agree, there is a HUGE discrepancy in the ratio of Michigan people on TechIMO and those from everywhere else.

I mean, there's a LOTTA Michiganders here compared to say, NY or L.A. or Texas...makes me wonder.

How come? Is it something in the water? I'm just waiting for the paint to dry, don't mind me. Idle hands are my ideal playground!

Target beat me to it. I was going to suggest:

1) Boredom

2) Snow

I think you're going to get a bias response here Knot

I think it's because the ground is frozen like what,11 1/2 months a year, there is nothing better to do than come to techIMO

Geez. Michigan isn’t a frozen, barren wasteland. That’s Canada.

It's hard to find intellectual equals in my area, so I've ventured to the internet seeking stimulating converstaion. Then I found out that everyone else really is smarter than me. Doh.

Michigan was gggrreeat! (Who am I?) I lived in Montague for 4 years and it was awesome! I have to admit, living in Texas for the 1st 7 years of your life and then seeing snow for the first time..... what a change. Oh, as far as the Michigan off years for sports go, the Wolverines aren't doing too shabby. Big game this weekend, though. I seem to have lost my horseshoes.... oh, that's right. They must be somewhere in the vicinity of the behinds of the buckeyes! Talk about lucky! And the wings are doing pretty good right now as well.
