Doesn't Utah also have the highest amount of polygamists?

Yes indeed. Roughly 3% of Utah's 2.3 million are polygamists, or about 60,000.

I've got just about the most stereotypical view of Utah imaginable. Most of it gleaned from Orgazmo and Harrry Turtledove novels.

Must visit

EDIT - Oh, and that South Park about Mormons. DUM DUM DUM

Utah is a truly beautiful state. It's just so..... weird. In a nice way.

Reminds me of a joke I heard years ago:

July 24, 1847. Brigham Young and the first pioneers arrive in the Salt Lake Valley. Brigham sends out scouts. When they report back he asks them what they found. Parley Pratt says "There's nothing out there but a huge lake. All we'll be able to do is fish and make babies."

Brigham thinks for a minute, and then says "I want you to go back down there and fill that lake up with salt!"
