I Don't Think So, Kids

From the MetroWest Daily News:

Today, an eager class of third-graders is traveling to the State House to ask that a homegrown invention - basketball - join the chickadee and the Boston terrier as symbols of the state.

"We're going to try to make the state sport basketball because it was invented in Massachusetts," said one 8-year-old girl in Laura Mullen's class yesterday at Mulready Elementary School.

To paraphrase Frank Booth: Fuck that shit! Candlepin bowling!
