Angels Among Us
It's official: North Dakota has the most angels. Snow angels, that is.
On February 17, 8,962 covered the grounds of the Capitol grounds, laying in the snow flapping their arms, and setting the Guinness World Record.
The previous record was a paltry 3,784 set at Michigan Technological University in 2006.
Too late to do anything about now. But next year, look out! Utah may have a little something for 'em.

Good Buy for Utah Guy
A piece of American history is coming home to Utah. It all started when a Tennessee man scored every thrift shopper's dream... spending a couple of bucks for a poster that
turned out to be an 1823 copy of the Declaration of Independence.
He sold it at auction for $477,650.
And now we know who dropped a half-million bucks on the document. It's Salt Lake company Bray-Conn.
If you look at the front page of their website, you can see how important the Declaration is to them. Now if they could just find a copy of the Constitution!

Ink-Free Marines
As of Monday, the U.S. Marines are banning any "body art" below the elbow or the knee. Presumably, current Marines will be allowed to keep any limbs previously tattooed.
But there goes any shot Britney Spears had at joining the Marines.
