Congress goofed in 1890 when it made Wyoming the 44th state, says an associate law professor at Michigan State University.

By leaving a 50-square-mile sliver of Yellowstone National Park in eastern Idaho, Congress might have produced a lawless oasis smack in the heart of God's Country -- a place where people could get away with crimes because of a quirk of the law, Brian Kalt contends.
