Indianapolis, along with sixteen other U.S. state capitals, is the highest-population city in its state. For a while after Hurricane Katrina, Baton Rouge was an 18th such capital.
The nicknames for the Liberal Party of Canada are “Les Rouges” in French and the Grits in English.
Baton Rouge LA is the third southmost capital city in the continental United States, after Austin TX and Tallahassee FL.
Tallahassee has six sister cities:

The airport serving Sint Maarten / Saint Martin, an island split into Dutch and French sides although they’re all cool about it, is famous for its runway beginning right across from one of the island’s most popular beaches. A favorite pastime of tourists is to try to hang onto the fence before a the exhaust of a jet taking off blows them into the water.
With 12.6 million visits a year, Huntington Beach is one of the most popular in California.
Forty Baskets Beach is a secluded beach on Sydney harbour, popular for both its sheltered swimming and its local fairy penguin population.
Emperor Penguins are the largest of the species, standing an average of 45 inches (115 cm) tall. Little Penguins, or Fairy Penguins, are the smallest of the species. They are on average 13 inches (33 cm) tall.
Burgess Meredith, who had hundreds of TV and stage and movie appearances but may be best remembered as The Penguin on the camp classic Batman TV series, was the third husband of his third wife, Paulette Goddard; her other husbands included Charlie Chaplin and Erich Maria Remarque.
Lee Meriwether, Julie Newmar, and Eartha Kitt played Catwoman in the Batman TV series.
*Batman *is an electorate in the House of Representatives for the state of Victoria. It is located in the northern suburbs of Melbourne and has an area of approximately 66 km[sup]2[/sup]. As at the most recent Commonwealth election, it had 103,012 enrolled voters.
It takes its name from John Batman, one of the founders of the city of Melbourne.
On a map of Namibia, the north has a panhandle area sticking out to the east and known as the Caprivi Strip. When a colony, the Germany negotiated to get that strip of land as access to the Zambesi as a way of shipping goods to the east coast of Africa. Evidently no one realized that between that point and the Indian Ocean, the Zambesi goes over Victoria Falls, making the river a tad unnavigable.
Over 90% of Namibians are Christians, and the Lutheran Church has the highest number of Namibians in the country.
Amicable numbers are two different integers for which the sum of the proper divisors of each is equal to the other number.
The smallest pair of amicable numbers is **220 **(proper divisors 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 11, 20, 22, 44, 55 and 110 which sum to 284) and **284 **(proper divisors 1, 2, 4, 71 and 142 which sum to 220).
The trochlear nerves are the smallest pair of cranial nerves from the midbrain to the superior oblique muscles of the eye.
A triangle that is not right-angled is an oblique triangle.
Oblique triangles can be of two types: an *acute *triangle, in which all three angles are less than 90°, or an *obtuse *triangle, in which one angle is greater than 90°.
Michael Jordan and the 1990s Chicago Bulls won six championships while running the triangle offense, an offensive strategy created and honed by Sam Berry and USC in the 1930s and 1940s.
At the age of 19, Johann Carl Friedrich Gauss proved that every positive integer can be expressed as the sum of three triangle numbers. Since this had been a famous unproven conjecture for a century and a half, it convinced the young Gauss to seek a career in mathematics.
Carl Friedrich Gauss did not want any of his sons to enter mathematics or science for “fear of lowering the family name”, as he believed none of them would surpass his own achievements.
