You can read everything here. While I am at a loss to figure out what words like "co-relatives" and "valency" mean, I know that Kentucky is not considered to be in the Southern US. And I certainly know the date, which completely invalidates my concerns regarding the geographical facts and the language used in the article. Don't you think such April Fool jokes are passe, esspecially when you have been reading "tall" stories in the Slimes of India all round the year.

These bastards @ TOI write such turd everyday..and yet!!..it sells!
hey,
kentucky is part of south US...
Anon: I always thought that Georgia, Alabama, the Carolinas and Tennessee are the "Southern states". Hmmmm, I could be wrong though....
Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia technically constitute the South - for historical reasons.
Parts of KY and Missouri applied for acceptance into the confederacy, and those states are represented as stars on the Confederate battle flag. But those two states never really seceded officially.
Thus those states are still very much "Mid West" and not South.
Nilu: I did not know all that, but I just figured out that I havent heard Ky mentioned in the same breadth as the states you have mentioned... And my knowledge is totally gleaned from movies :)
idhu enna pa nayam. Kentucky map aa thiripipatha kashmir theriyadha.
Times of India does an April Fool's trick on people almost everyday. They dont report on news, they just write stories. I think when they dont have anything to report on, they all sit together and do a brainstorming session of how they could fill up their paper/website.
Also Anti, next time you come over to Chicago, let me know. We can meet.
Last week, I almost got ran into, for wearing a Yankees cap in Louisville, so am pretty sure, KY is South.
Hemanth, by your analogy - Boston will have to be most Southern ;)
