(im > from Germany...) I don't know where this discussion about 51 stars on the U.S. flag comes from... although I seem to remember a Bruce Springsteen (or was it Bob Dylan?) song called "51st State of the USA"? Look here: http://atlasgeo.span.ch/fotw/flags/us.html, especially the link "Evolution of the Stars and Stripes". or search the net for "US flag".

That's it! (see below) I knew I wasn't right, but sometimes I'm just stupid :-( Our star spangled Union Jack flutters so proud Over the dancing heads of the merry patriotic crowd Yeah, tip your hat to the yankee conqueror We've got no reds under the bed, but guns under our pillows We're the ... 51st state of America This is the ... 51st state of America ... <obascii> C;___-; ,-/`. /,-.
