    Or go to the library.
    Since your question is too ambiguous, how about history of Indiana in the 1900's? Like understanding the Hoosier Culture.......

    YOU KNOW YOU'RE FROM INDIANA WHEN:



    ? You think the state Bird is Larry.



    ? You can say 'French Lick' without laughing out loud.



    ? There's actually a college near you named ' Ball State .



    ? You know Batesville is the casket-making capital of the world and you're proud of it.



    ? You could never figure out spring forward-fall back, so still think you should just ignore Daylight Savings Time!



    ? You know several people who have hit a deer.



    ? Down south to you means Kentucky .



    ? You have no problem spelling or pronouncing Terre Haute ? Your school classes were canceled because of cold. Your school classes were canceled because of heat.



    ? You know what the phrase 'knee-high by the Fourth of July' means.



    ? You've heard of Euchre, you know how to play Euchre, and you are a master of Euchre.



    ? You've seen a running car, with nobody in it, in the parking lot of the grocery store, no matter what time of year it is.



    ? Detasseling was your first job. Baling hay, your second.



    ? Or you could stack hay, swim in the pond to get clean and then have the strength to play a couple of games of hoops, all in the same barn lot on the same day.



    ? You say things like catty corner and know what it means.



    ? You install security lights on your house and garage, and then leave them both unlocked.



    ? You carry jumper cables in your car regularly.



    ? You drink pop.



    ? You catch frogs at the crick.



    ? If you want someone to hear you, you holler at 'em.



    ? You know that baling wire was the predecessor to duct tape.



    ? You know that strangers are the only ones who come to your front door.



    ? Kids and dogs ride in the passenger seats of cars and the backs of pickups.



    ? You think nothing of driving on the roads and being stuck behind a farm implement in spring and fall. You just hope it's not a hog truck or a manure spreader.



    ? High school basketball games draw bigger crowds on the weekend than movie theaters, IF you have a movie theater.



    ? Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow.



    ? The local paper covers national and international headlines on one page but requires six for local sports.



    ? You can repeat the scores of the last eight NBA games, but unless the MVP is a Hoosier, you are not sure who he is.



    ? You can see at least two basketball hoops from your yard.



    ? You can name Bobby Knight's exploits over the last few years.



    ? The biggest question of your youth was IU or Purdue.



    ? Indianapolis is the BIG CITY.



    ? Getting stuck by a train is a legitimate excuse for being late to school or work.



    ? Everyone knows who the town cops are, where they live, and whether they're at home or on duty.



    ? You've been to the Covered Bridge Festival. And you took back roads to get there.



    ? To you, tenderloin is not an expensive cut of beef, but a big, salty, breaded, & fried piece of pork served on a bun with a pickle.



    ? You end your sentences with prepositions, as in 'Where's it at?' or 'Where's he going to?'

    What the hell does "drawedfdawed" mean? I can't even figure out what typo that could have come from...
