Go to Wikipedia.
Look up "Virginia."
Drop down to the "State Symbols" section.

Edit: Adding a screen shot for when it's pulled.

4. Haha, amusing.
But at the same time, it's shit like that which makes Wikipedia a less credible source than it could be.

14. Yeah - I am having to spend more and more time explaining to my
students that Wikipedia is not the equivalent of a peer reviewed journal or a reputable encyclopedia. I can't count the number of times a student has come to my office with a totally off the wall "fact" and the comment "I don't understand this, but it came from Wikipedia so I know it's credible."
