|  | THIS HAND OF MINE GLOWS WITH AN AWESOME POWER! | | Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: USA; Mitchellville, Maryland | | He brings up a good point... well he didn't but he got me thinking  . Why is it called the continental US when it doesn't include Alaska? Alaska is part of the North American continent so why exclude it? Unless the term was coined before Alaska joined the union, it doesn't seem quite accurate in that regard.
