What's the matter with this answer?

A teacher was instructing her students on the different states of matter - solid, liquid, and gas. This was latest in a series of lessons on this topic.    During the lesson, the teacher posed this question: "In what state is most of the matter in the universe?" After some consideration, Herman raised his hand and responded "Texas since it is so big" *Face palm* - Not only is that not a state of matter, but Alaska is the biggest state!
