One of my favorite random facts is that nobody knows what Idaho means. As far as we know, it's a completely made-up word.

(The dude who came up with it first claimed it was a Shoshone word, which was apparently incorrect, then said it was inspired by the name Ida. Make of that what you will.)

1. The Bookwyrm
  
  I remember reading Dune for the first time and being like:
  
  "Here we are,
  
  In an advanced interstellar society ruled by a feudal empire thousands upon thousands of years in the future,
  
  And there's someone named Duncan Idaho."
  
  It was just kinda weird. And make me think about Idaho as a word.
  
  So yeah.

  Anyways, Idaho, the land of the potatoes.
  
  So, it's inspired by the name Ida... Ima stop thinking about that.
