North Dakota Does Not Exist.

Overheal

Don't be so surprised -- in your heart you knew it all along. After all, have you ever met anybody from North Dakota? Have you ever vacationed in North Dakota? Have you ever seen a car with a license plate that read "North Dakota"? (If you think you did, you're confusing it with South Dakota.)

Face it. There is nothing in North Dakota. Even South Dakota has Mount Rushmore and has had a famous politican (if you count George McGovern). If nothing else, we kept North Dakota as a buffer zone with Canada; when we got on more friendly terms, the Canadians didn't really want it either, so we were stuck with it.

Any reference book you choose will report that North Dakota has roughly 650,000 residents. Now, do these people exist? Well, yes. They actually live in South Dakota and Minnesota and they commute.

Do you ever hear anything about North Dakota in the national news? Never! Last week I picked up various copies of USA Today just to look at the "Statesline" section, just to see if anything ever happened there. Headlines included the expansion of a mushroom farm and a lack of running water due to a well that dried up over the weekend.

Of course you never hear about a crazed gunman shooting up a McDonald's in North Dakota. Why? No McDonald's.

What the hell?!? Thats so weird :L:L I wonder what other places don't exist.. hmmm...
oh wait http://www.travelsd.com/Attractions I found a hole in your theory <<<

I just spent the last half hour lookin at North Dakota on Google earth..some of its wierd..some of the centres of population are very sparce, with big, well spaced out buildings, loads, of either seed or fuel silos, and a sh*tload of vehicles..some of them seem to have a good few houses, and a communal car park..a lot the fields are squared off in a grid..a lot of the state seems to be just painted over or something..i went in quite close over a lot of it, and did the same in the states around it, and other centres of population, just to see what normal towns look like..i dunno..

If I remember correctly Garfield did something similar about Wyoming on the Garfield and Friends show years ago.

Conspiracy Theories robbed off kids cartoons are all the rage now?

Actually I believe that was filmed in Minneapolis. A friend of mine is from there.

I actually heard that Tallaght never existed mainly because of the impossibility of Northside acting people living on the Southside.

A friend of mine just went to North Dakota for a conference. Like me, he is a beer blogger so it is also quite possible he drank too much and had a dream he went there.....
