| Hey, don't forget Conroe! I've got friends (well, they're more like family, actually) that live there. And Conroe had it's own training battalion too!

Or they could just have one of those big multi-state road maps and used that.

How about one of those big maps from a high school and a dart?

No, the map-dartboard thing is how the weathermen predict the weather. Or so it seems sometimes.

You are mistaken. The weathermen do not throw darts at maps. Monkeys throw the darts. The weathermen just watch the monkeys.

...OR they can be named after people. Check this out. I heard it on a commercial on early morning talk radio. For US$54.00 you can name a star after yourself or after a loved one....of course it might be 350 years before some astronomer takes an interest in your star, and before the scientific community decides that your star is too important to continue going by by the name "YW15623". 
The Star Registry
...looks pretty bogus, but still a good convo piece.

I know that NASA has named new chips that are sent out on satelites for people who log into the JPL website. A friend of mine has a few of those with his name on it.
