For many, 2016 was a pretty bad year....a crazy presidential election where it seems nobody got the candidate they wanted running for President..We lost some amazing people, including Carrie Fisher, David Bowie and George Michael...But  the most important subject of the year was, what weird thing was your state more interested in than any other state?
