[net.misc] "Tails" of North Dakota parse date string

rlr (02/07/83)

(I get the feeling from the editor that the title of this piece will be
'"Tails" from North Dakota parse date stringaw'.  Oh, well....)

Whoever misspelled tales in his own ND article may have hit the nale on the
head (only kidding, I know how to spell hedd).

To solve this whole issue, someone should toss a coin.  Heads, and North
Dakota exists.  Tails (or tales) and it doesn't.  Some qualified person
(i.e., someone with a coin, which rules me right out) should perform this
function.  The lives of hundreds of thousands (tens of thousands? millions?)
of people who may or may not live there hang in the balance.
