    If you look at an atlas and look at the western edge of the state of South Dakota where it borders Montana, you will see a straight line with a kink of about one mile. Everywhere else the border is a straight line. The kink does not benefit any landowner and no other states are involved. Why is the kink there?

    These aren't brain teasers. You can't solve the problem by examining your post. These are just Q & A's.

    Here you go Neil,

    If you like pretty gems that sparkle and shine,
    I invite you to dig in my virtual mine.
    My first is purple, fit for a king,
    My second is green where Dorothy did her thing.
    My third is red, July's birthstone as well,
    My fourth is seen in strings and is found inside a shell.
    My fifth is hard, pure Carbon and expensive to buy,
    My sixth is Crocodolite, striped like the big cat's eye.
    Seventh is two words, a man-made fake of April's stone,
    Eighth is very dark and found at Lightning Ridge alone.
    Now take from each gem, one letter in its turn,
    And you will find the stuff for which even the god's yearn.

    So the question is, For what does God yearn?
