Poor Wyoming!

I just got an email from a programming contractor client. They just found a bug in my code, from November. I left out Wyoming.

Oops.

At least, my final list of states and provinces lacks Wyoming. I'm sure it was there at one point, since I certainly counted them at different times to prevent just that error. Perhaps I should keep my addition consultant on retainer. [edit]: I figured out how I made the mistake. The list includes DC as a state, so the total should've been 51.

Poor Wyoming! ...thankfully, it's all better now, except for the ruffled feathers of the (first and only) user who is from Wyoming.

Well, it's not like they're Iowa, or something, else we'd have heard of them through a great old movie like State Fair. Which, as we all know, is exactly how all people from Iowa behave today.

What?

Er, yeah...

At least I didn't pull a William Shatner on them, either. "Ha ha, you don't exist, you're only a reality show."

How were you intending to pay the retainer?

I think I do believe in Wyoming, though not Saskatchewan...

I'm sure I could come up with some means... ;)

Reminds me of the time when I demonstrated binary search in class using the provinces of Canada, and forgot Sasketchewan. Oops. One kid in the class was definitely *not* amused.

But only one? I still say that Saskatchewan is a collective delusion.

DC is no more a state than Wyoming isn't. I'm still amazed that PEI gets its own province.
