The website www.mentalfloss.com is running a campaign to shame Virginia (the state) into abandoning its famous motto, "Virginia Is for Lovers" on the grounds that other states have a better claim to it.
They say they've measured the birthrate, marriage rate, wine consumption, cut flower sales, number of bed and breakfasts and Marvin Gaye "listens" in all the states and subjected the results to some statistical mojo. It looks like we scored first in only one category, the bed and breakfast rate, but somehow they've concluded we're cumulatively on top.
So, it's official: Alaska is for lovers.
You heard it here first. Who knew? :)

That's because for nine months out of the year there's nothing else to do in Alaska...
You take care of your long, cold winter nights, sir, and we'll take care of ours. Heh.
