But, we already knew that Minnesotans are wacky :-)
I'd say more, but I know at least a couple of ex-Minnesotans who might decide to whack me if I did...
Cheers,
Ben

Uh, "Slugger": Ben calls Minnesotans "WACK-y", and the...
...first thing you -- presumably a Minnesotan, judging from your reaction -- do, is to "WHACK!" him?!?
What's that supposed to accomplish -- BESIDES proving his very point...?

Eggactly....
....ex-Minnesotan, actually. Folks there may indeed be a tad wacky, but they have a longer life expectency than folks in any other state. And, they are a friendly bunch. One can also hear the strong French-Canadian influence, which I still cannot shake to this day. Can you say "a-boot". :)
Seriously, if you ever visit the States, it is a nice place to check out - particularly in the September/October timeframe.
OT: whacking Ben also helped relieve much of the pressure brought about by the 70+ hours of the week just past. And, seeing as it was a virtual whack, no esteemed Perl programmers were harmed in the making of my previous post. :)
Cheers,

Yaah, thanks, I know. Lake Ki-Chi-Saga, anyone?
I mean, YTF would their football team be called the Vikings otherwise?
And yes, mr Keillor talks about the Scandinanvian heritage a lot. (Mainly in the form of "Norwegian bachelor farmers" mentioned regularly.)
And being both Swedish and somewhat literate, I'm familiar with mr Moberg's epics, "the Emigrants", "the Immigrants", etc. Recommended, BTW.
