The Sooner State received its nickname from the settlers who went just a little bit earlier than they were supposed to in order to claim the territory's newly-available land. Folks who jumped the gun, sneaking in before the Land Run kicked off at high noon, became known as Sooners. 2. In 1983, native Oklahoman Gordon Matthews patented his "voice message exchange" which Forbes described at the time as "a computerized telephone message storage and retrieval system with greater capacity than a tape recorder and a novel ability to reroute and replicate messages." Today we know it as voicemail. 3. 9. Located along the infamous Tornado Alley, Oklahoma is the most tornado-prone region in the country. Over 3500 recorded storms touched down in the state between 1950 and 2014. Perhaps you were unaware that the nation’s first Tornado Warning was issued in Oklahoma on March 25, 1948. 4. The first-ever shopping carts were introduced to Oklahoma City’s Humpty Dumpty supermarket chain in 1937. While they were initially a flop amongst shoppers, they gained popularity after the inventor hired models to push them around his stores. 5. During World War II, Boise City was the only U.S. town to have a bomb dropped on them via airplane. What made this case even more remarkable was that the perpetrators weren’t German or Japanese forces but American troops who had botched a training exercise. Though several buildings were damaged in the town’s center, thankfully no citizens were harmed. In line with the patriotic climate of the time, the mayor issued a statement the following morning praising the bombers for their accuracy. 6. Oklahoma’s official state meal is truly a gut-buster: it consists of squash, corn bread, fried okra, barbecue pork, grits, biscuits, sausage and gravy, corn, strawberries, chicken-fried steak, black-eyed peas, and pecan pie. 7. Oklahoma City came together in a single day. On April 22, 1889, the U.S. government opened up the first of a series of “land runs,” where homesteaders raced to stake their claim to plots of free land. By the end of the day, a tent city of 10,000 had developed on the tract that would later be called OKC. More Info: http://mentalfloss.com/article/73582/...
