OMG - I bet you folks can't guess what the official sport of Maryland is
It was on my snapple cap. I'll give it a bit til I laugh at all your bad responses and then tell you the answer

NO FAIR GOOGLING IT (or using any other search engines). That's cheating and I hope maggots devour your brain while you sleep if you cheat!

34. The movie "Lilith" made in 1962 has jousting in it
The jousting scenes were filmed in Poolesville, Md. The rest of the film was made in Rockville, Md. One of Warren Beatty's first films as an actor.
