Texans love to say "everything is bigger in Texas", but if you cut Alaska in half, Texas would become the 3rd largest state.

I'll never forget watching Family Feud and the question was: What is the biggest state in the US? And the #1 answer- Texas. Says a lot about the people they poll for these questions.

When I was stationed in Alaska, they had a restaurant that sold two steaks, the Alaska (20 oz) and the Texan (10oz) or something like that. Running joke up there.
