In 1962, Maryland was the first state to adopt an official sport. And then 46 years later, in 2008, they were the first state to name an official exercise.
The Maryland state sport is jousting. And if you want to participate in the state exercise...go on a walk.
The first recorded use of “goodbye” as a single word (rather than the whole phrase “God be with ye”) is also the first recorded use of the word “howdy.”
