The song America the Beautiful was written by Katharine Lee Bates, originally in the form of a poem entitled "Pikes Peak", which is a 14,000+ foot peak in Colorado Springs.

Except it's not a perfect analogy because each grain is a separate entity, and it's an external force, the wind, that produces the wave motion. Davidy²²[talk] 08:24, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
- It actually works out better than you think, because a laser requires an external energy source to pump it. Colorado is also shaped like a laser cavity. 173.245.48.125 06:36, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

"There is a long running joke in the Rocky Mountain West of completely obliterating nearby states, and in particular Nebraska." Can someone explain this? Maybe it's just because I'm from the east coast, but I have never heard anything about this. Where does the joke come from? How does it go? Leafy Greens (talk) 23:26, 16 November 2014 (UTC)
