Stars on the Flag

Have graphic designers started fooling around with adding stars to the flag, depending on Greenland, 1-13 for Canada, Lord knows what else?

51= 9x3 with 8x3

52= 6x4 with 7x4, or 7x4 with 8x3

53= 8x4 with 7x3

54= 9x6 (maybe we should aim for that)

....


And also, Archie Bunker, in the episode in which he thought he was dying. "To my son-in-law, Meathead Stivic, I leave my original 48-star American flag leaving out Alaska and Hawaii."

Horrible idea -- think of the expense of replacing all the old flags.

Adding Greenland as a state is silly, of course. Maybe we could add it as a county to New Hampshire?
Now that I think of it, which state would it best be part of? Alaska is the obvious choice, but Florida might like a place to cool off in the summer.

Exactly. Or we could do 8*7 for 56 states as famously claimed
