Here 's a state-by-state listing of inventions. Some of these are very important. Case in point: Louisiana. The invention from Louisiana has saved millions of lives all over the world.

On the other hand, the inventions from Michigan, Rhode Island and New Hampshire are very lame. they would have a very long way to go to catch up with the invention from Louisiana. The lamest, by far, is Wyoming!
