I kind of don't want to contribute anything else, I just want to see what sunny thinks of NJ.

How can there be male ladybugs? (Laurel), Tuesday, 17 March 2009 22:26 (sixteen years ago)

nj apparently has the highest population density of any state in the union!

NYSE:JAH (get bent), Tuesday, 17 March 2009 22:29 (sixteen years ago)

harbl they are worse i dont know how but theyre bad

I wish I was the royal trux (sunny successor), Tuesday, 17 March 2009 22:29 (sixteen years ago)

nj apparently has the highest population density of any state in the union!

i.e., new york state has a very dense metro area but it really thins out after that. new jersey is so small in proportion that is doesn't have a chance to.

NYSE:JAH (get bent), Tuesday, 17 March 2009 22:31 (sixteen years ago)

nyc metro area, i mean

NYSE:JAH (get bent), Tuesday, 17 March 2009 22:31 (sixteen years ago)

HHooHHHooHH-oob (harbl), Tuesday, 17 March 2009 22:36 (sixteen years ago)

HHooHHHooHH-oob (harbl), Tuesday, 17 March 2009 22:36 (sixteen years ago)

I read that Philadelphia v. NJ case in ConLaw. It's the reason why NJ takes so much crap from everyone.
