Did you know that Buffalo is the first city in North America to have a large grazing animal named after it? The big critters were once known as "bison" but in honor of the bravery of the citizens of Buffalo, as they battled snow flakes, the president has named a big, dumb-animal after their city. To make matters worse, it set a trend and now Caribo, Maine is looking for the same honor. Mark my words, there will be other copycats.
