Did You Know Michigan Declared War on Canada?

I was sitting astonished that I did not learn this important fact in High School nor read about this event ever for about 5 minutes!!! I could not understand how I missed this

It was only after I noticed the top of the Wiki article that the whole entry is fake. I have to admit for a HOAX it is so well done it is funny. GO see this Wikipedia entry on the 1843 war between Michigan and Canada.

Big reminder that just because it wrote down doesn't make it true

Tip of the Hat to Jonah at the Famous CORNER blog for giving this as well as whole set of cool links for the day
