Listening to NPR on the radio tonight I learned the most amusing (and yet, oddly terrifying) thing. It seems that in North Dakota there is a law on the books making "open and notorious" premarital cohabitation a misdemeanor. (Notorious was defined as being obvious and without discretion.) And when it was presented to the senate this session, with the thought of removing such a rediculous, uninforcible and largely unconstitutional law, it failed. The senate members voted to keep this archaic law because getting rid of it might give the young people the idea that such a thing was condoned. So if you know someone in N. Dakota who's thinking of shacking up with their honey...make sure they know that they could be facing a stiff fine and/or some jail time. Unless, that is, they are just being "roommates".
