Georgia has 75 laws on how to build rice paddies, even though the state has only one rice farm left. Rice was the state's No. 1 crop before the
Civil War. But right after the war, a hurricane destroyed all the paddies
and ponds. It was too expensive to replace them without slaves, so the Rice
State began growing peaches, peanuts and other crops.
I actually did not know that. Very interesting little tid-bit!

Georgia officials were revising their state laws in 1981, and noticed they still allowed pensions for Confederate widows. That week the last widow
died. Lawmakers bowed their heads, and deleted the law.
OK, color me stupid - but if they allowed pensions for Confererate widows - and then the LAST one died - what's the need to delete the law? There's no one left to pay.
