Fetch Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP) Hang on to any of the new State of North Dakota quarters, they may be worth much more than 25 cents. The U.S. Treasury announced today it is recalling all North Dakota quarters that are part of its program featuring quarters from each of the 50 states. "We are recalling all the new North Dakotaquarters that were recently issued," Treasury Undersecretary Jack Shackleford said Monday. This action is being taken after numerous reports that the new quarters will not work in parking meters, toll booths, vending machines, pay phones, or other coin-operated devices. "The problem lies in the unique design of the North Dakota quarter, which was created by an Engineering Graduate from UND," Shackleford said. "Apparently, the duct tape holding the two dimes and the nickel together keeps jamming the coin-operated devices." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HockeyMom Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I think he was misquoted the Engineering Grad was from NDSU. It happens all the time, just like Phil Jackson is a NDSU grad-according to ESPN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happens all the time, just like Phil Jackson is a NDSU grad-according to ESPN. I read on Twincities.com yesterday about someone who got his Masters from the University of Mary in Fargo. Doesn't anybody check any facts anymore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightonsioux Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 If it was a UND grad that designed the quarter, there would definitely not be a bison on the quarter!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fetch Posted October 26, 2006 Author Share Posted October 26, 2006 How about baseball then Just on time for the World Series. A doctor at an insane asylum decided to take his patients to a baseball game For weeks in advance, he coached his patients to respond to his commands. When the day of the game arrived, everything went quite well.,. As the National Anthem started, the doctor yelled, "Up Nuts," and the patients complied by standing up. After the anthem, he yelled, "Down Nuts," and they all sat back down in their seats. After a home run was hit, the doctor yelled, "Cheer Nuts". They all broke out into applause and cheered. When the umpire made a particularly bad call against the star of the home team, the Doctor yelled, "Booooo Nuts," and they all started booing and cat calling. Comfortable with their response, the doctor decided to go get a beer and a hot dog, leaving his assistant in charge. When he returned, there was a riot in progress. Finding his tizzied assistant, the doctor asked, "What in the world happened?" The assistant replied, "Well everything was going just fine until this vendor walked by and yelled, "PEANUTS!"

You must have witnessed that at Newman Outdoor. Don't get too worked up by it though. I hear it happens all the time at bison sporting events.

ND Pride Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I read on Twincities.com yesterday about someone who got his Masters from the University of Mary in Fargo. Doesn't anybody check any facts anymore? Well, with the University of Mary-fargo Center being a legitimate entity I am not surprised to see that type of reference. With some colleges having multi-city centers it is not unusual for those out of the immediate area to make that "mistake" although the degree is technically pursued in total in the "center" city.
