Favorite of the Week (Sep 11-Sep 18)
It's been awhile since one of these was put up, so I'm perusing the last week's worth of questions. There may be more options than normal, but there's a broader selection to draw from, so that's not unexpected.
How do they name vitamins?
BYU parking situation
Are religious people deviants?
All sorts of DMV and license plate queries
Why is the judicial system slow?
Which 3 states should we get rid of?
Coed dorm situation
Stairway to Heaven: Greatest Rock Song Ever?
Kneeling during prayer

Dakotas
But you can't even remember which one it was? That seems to be further evidence that they should just be combined in my book.My ward choir director freshman year was from one of them.
RE: Dakotas
I'm pretty sure it was North, but not 100%. This was a couple of years ago . . .
Well, it looks like there was a historical reason for the split:

So, if we were to have Dakota, where would the capital be?After controversy over the location of a capital, the Dakota Territory was split in two and divided into North and South in 1889. ( http://www.americaslibrary.gov/cgi-bin/ ... 2&month=11 )

My cousin served his mission there and I think he said there are two wards in North Dakota. The Rapid City South DakotaDakota ward and the Moorehead Minnesota ward.
That's a joke. I guess one of those lame mission jokes. There was a good bit on the Weekend Update with Tina Fey a while ago, North Dakota wanted to drop the 'North' because it implied frigidity and barren-wastelandedness instead of the tropical wonderland you see here;
Actually, South Dakota does have significantly high tourism than North Dakota, presumably because people group the Dakotas together in their heads, and if you have to go to one of them, it might as well be the one that at leasts sounds warmer.727 wrote:There was a good bit on the Weekend Update with Tina Fey a while ago, North Dakota wanted to drop the 'North' because it implied frigidity and barren-wastelandedness instead of the tropical wonderland
The fact that Mt. Rushmore is in South Dakota has nothing to do with it.

I like it! The Canadians would just LOVE to have a mountain with US Presidents' faces on it!
I'm pretty sure Canada would hate us even more if we tried to dump the Dakotas on them. It's like the USA is saying, "here little brother, have this, because I have no use for it anymore. Oh, and it's really cold. Enjoy!"

I will slay the dragon myself, thank you very much.
