[net.misc] Watch out for N.D.

rhoads (01/21/83)

I hear from a reliable source, who claims to be from N.D. that:

If North Dakota were to secede from the Union, it would be
the third largest nuclear power in the world.

           -Not afraid to say I, for one, believe in N.D.

What I heard was that if North Dakota seceded from the Union it would be
the 5th strongest nation.  At one time it would have been #3 but I think
a couple of other contries have been building bombs faster then we have
been shipping them up north.

North Dakota does have other things too, such as the highest air quality
in the US.  I know because that's where I was while most of this 
"existance of North Dakota" thing has been going on. In fact, yes,
I am from there.  I've been told I was born there (but I was born at
a real young age and really don't remember.)

Now all I have to do is convince myself I'm not an AI project and that
is that.  Any ideas on how to tell?

I did check ny drivers license and it said ND, but maybe that was just
programmed in.

Subject: Paul Gunsch's defense of North Dakota

In a recent article, Paul Gunsch defended the existence of ND and even
claimed to be born there, yet could not determine whether or not he was
an AI project.  I applied the Turing test to his article, and found that
he sounds suspiciously like a VAX 11/780 running UN*X 3.0.  Any other
opinions?
