Reasons not to move to North Dakota

by Ross Catrow

  1. Here are some nicknames for North Dakota: Peace Garden State,
    Roughrider State, Flickertail State. Yeah … Roughrider … Flickertail. Mmmmmm hot.
  2. While ranked 19th in total area ND is ranked 47th in total population. The total population of ND is 642,200, while the population of the Richmond-Petersburg metropolitan area is around 1.1 million.
  3. Cows out number people in North Dakota 2.8 to 1. I predict a massive cow uprising in the near future — flee for the hills North Dakotaians! Note: if you are fleeing from a cow be sure to run in a zig-zag pattern. Cows, while extremely fast on land, have a difficult time making sharp turns.
  4. North Dakota is bordered on the north by Manitoba Canada. Manitoba isn’t even a founding province of Canada (Quiet Nerds Burp Only Near School).
  5. North Dakota is 93% white (bad thing, not a good thing)!!!
  6. From wikipedia: “Along with having the most churches per capita of any state, North Dakota has the highest percentage of church-going population of any state.” Awesome?
  7. It has the word “north” in its name ; )
