I could also name countless inventors from Alabama and famous pioneers but you would figure a way to bash them also.
Alabama also has a hospital that is known around the world. Famous celebrates go there for sports injuries and heart surgery. One of the Sheiks in Iran carried his son there just last year.
University of Alabama in Birmingham is the name or as we call it UAB .
But also I am sure you can bash that too.
