#1 has to be a joke, just like the "Great" State of Texas, home of the two fattest cities in the US!
That is a racist comment, as everyone knows that the main reason Texas has a lot of fat people is because of its superior Tex-Mex food. But at the Battle of San Jacinto, marinated beef fajitas wrapped in flour tortillas, covered with sour cream, grilled onions and pico de gallo, and drizzled with garlic butter, had not yet been invented. Most of the Texans were skinny, living on beef jerky. That's why they were so damn angry.
I stand by my assessment of the Battle of San Jacinto as a significant event that led to the modern world. If you visit the San Jacinto monument, the world's tallest phallic symbol, the video they show you says the same thing, so it must be true.
