  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

And South Dakota has declared North Dakota to be North South Dakota

In response, North Dakota has challenged South Dakota to a duel. If North Dakota wins, both states will be combined into The state of 'Dakota'.

If North Dakota wins, both states will be combined into The state of ‘North Dakota’.
And Nebraska will be renamed South Dakota. Then the process repeats. Until the entire earth is Dakota.

I think the United States of Jersey would have something to say about that.

Skip the duel, combine them and maybe Montana and Wyoming.
