I learned today that there is a bill pending in the Missouri State Legislature that would designate jumping jacks as the official State exercise.
HB 842.
The summary of the bill, which was introduced by State Rep. Pat Conway (27) states:
This bill designates the exercise commonly known as "jumping jacks," which was invented by Missouri-born General John J. Pershing as a drill exercise for cadets, as the official state exercise.
Ok, now how about encouraging schools to get the kids out for more PE and recess time? Adults too, for that matter.
