Well, if we cut Alaska in half, Texas would be the THIRD largest state!!! 
But population-wise? I think we’ve got either the 2nd or 3rd smallest, if I remember, Montana has the smallest population? But I don’t remember where I got that, and I could be wrong, so do NOT ask me for any “cites”. 
(pssssssst, as far as I’m concerned, Texas may be smaller than Alaska, but it’s got WAAAAAAAAY more cool stuff, that’s why I’m relocating there).
Yup, pretty sad huh? Anyone ever watch that game show called “Street Smarts” (or something like that)???
They’ll poll people on the streets for how many states in the United States. Almost no one comes up with the right answer.
And I’ve seen other polls on various talk shows where people polled place Alaska as an island off the coast of CA. Because that’s where the weather channel puts it.
They (the news shows) DO that to save room at the top of their weather graphic, but too many people just assume that that’s where it’s really located.
People are dumb.
I thought Alaska had WAAAAAAAAY more “cool”, <strike that> “cold” stuff?
You all just think you’re going to bait me into a brawl over this, but I think I’ll just sit here and smile smugly at the inane rantings of those who have never seen god’s country. Today, from my office, I watched a 1500 lb. bull moose amble across our parking lot. Wish I had a website to post the photos to. Now, that’s not as ‘cool’ as, say, tumbleweeds, but it’ll do.
Wyoming has the smallest population, followed by Vermont (well, technically DC), then Alaska.
Montana has the 7th lowest population.
Hey CanvasShoes,
You obviously have no interest in mountaineering, skiing, or dogsledding.

That’s the second time I’ve seen them adjust an article after a thread here about it. I swear they have someone reading this board.
WE ARE NOW!!!
(don’t make us sic our governor on you!)
Amusing how y’all are getting so worked up about the election of Gov. Arnold. What are you going to do next November when President Bush is re-elected?
-There’s a pair of nesting bald eagles not 200 yards from where I sit, a family of coyote across the street, a cow moose with two calves have set up camp in the woods between us and the Kenai River (where you can catch 62-lb King Salmon and watch the seals swim by) the local caribou calving ground is half a mile in the opposite direction, and earlier this summer a porcupine the size of a Galapagos tortise nearly walked right into my shop. Perhaps he liked Metallica, I don’t know.
And according to today’s paper, the Grizzlies across the Inlet have registered their opinion of the local environmentalists.
That’s not even funny. :eek:
Whats dumb is to not realize how many feet of film ended up on the editing room floor because the people answered correctly and so werent worth any entertainment value.
Yeah, Alaskas cool. Maybe someday when I make tons of money and dont have to worry about having a decent job and making ends meet, Ill move there. 
I love to watch, (yet cringe while doing so) the “man in the street quizzes”. Surely they can’t be that dumb. They must be actors for the most part.
Hey, I guess thay could be both. Most of these things are shot in California. Yep that explains it. (Occam’s razor)
Just imagine one made in Alaska…I’m laughing my ass off already
Of course, one interpretation of fractal geometry is that any given stretch of coastline is actually infinitely long if you zoom in enough. So that complicates the matter a bit.
I thought denial was a river, not a state.
