And the answer is................Minnesota

Minnesota is a state in the Upper Midwest, Great Lakes, and northern regions of the United States. Minnesota was admitted as the 32nd U.S. state on May 11, 1858, created from the eastern half of the Minnesota Territory. The state has a large number of lakes, and is known by the slogan the "Land of 10,000 Lakes". Its official motto is L'Étoile du Nord (French: Star of the North).
Minnesota is the 12th largest in area and the 22nd most populous of the U.S. states; nearly 55% of its residents live in the Minneapolis–Saint Paul metropolitan area (known as the "Twin Cities").This area has the largest concentration of transportation, business, industry, education, and government in the state. Other urban centres throughout "Greater Minnesota" include Duluth, East Grand Forks, Mankato, Moorhead, Rochester, and St. Cloud.
The geography of the state consists of western prairies now given over to intensive agriculture; deciduous forests in the southeast, now partially cleared, farmed, and settled; and the less populated North Woods, used for mining, forestry, and recreation.
Minnesota was inhabited by various indigenous peoples for thousands of years prior to the arrival of Europeans, some of whom continue to reside in Minnesota today. French explorers, missionaries, and fur traders began exploring the region in the 17th century, encountering the Dakota and Ojibwe/Anishinaabe tribes. Much of what is today Minnesota was part of the vast French holding of Louisiana, which was purchased by the United States in 1803. Following several territorial reorganizations, Minnesota in its current form was admitted as the country's 32nd state on May 11, 1858. Like many Midwestern states, it remained sparsely populated and centred on lumber and agriculture. During the 19th and early 20th centuries, a large number of European immigrants, mainly from Scandinavia and Germany, began to settle the state, which remains a centre of Scandinavian American and German American culture.
In recent decades, immigration from Asia, the Horn of Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America has broadened its demographic and cultural composition. The state's economy has heavily diversified, shifting from traditional activities such as agriculture and resource extraction to services and finance. Minnesota's standard of living index is among the highest in the United States, and the state is also among the best-educated and wealthiest in the nation.

More Murcan mindteasers. This makes me mad, musters my Mercurial mental state, the state of 10,000 lakes. Is it not enough that I can name every US state, most of their capitols, and place them accurately on a map? harrumph.

That was fin Max, we should do it again sometime. Gotta swim now.

I think she Tunad into the big fish in the little pond. I once saw her at Jack in the box.

Yet, there was no school marm...

No, he was not. It was a great grouper of actors.

Yep. And Mongo was no shrimp.

The Blazing Saddles reference Conched me out. Great one.

(I'm surprised we didn't try to annex Finland after stealing Alaska from Russia...)

Mongo not know. Mongo just prawn in game of life...

Dream, or Preen?

(In a minnow or two maybe I'll wake up and realize this is just a bad dream...)

Sorry, I Cod not help myself.

Finland? Fits right in here.

Hmmm, when did Finland become a U.S. state?

Cod that was bad, eely bad!

Now you are talking filet o fish.

Not to worry. We have someone to ring the dinner bell.

Or food.

No, I don't want to spoils anyone's jovian mood.

Yes, we do NOT want to go there!

I see no reference to Neptune in the puzzle description, so I don't know. (No reference to Uranus either, luckily.)

Maybe it was very cold and large, like an Ice Giant.

Ouch. Notice that the lake didn't contain any pluto. Must not have been a dwarf lake.

If they have the Grit for it.

(True movie fans have gotten this by now...)

Easy again, it is the one with all of those lakes.

Another Darwin award…..
Paul, 48, was an electrician for the state Department of Transportation (DOT). He and Charles were part of a 15-person crew assigned to replace the lights in the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel. The crew would ride through the tunnel in a converted dump truck that had a ledge on the back used to hold tools during the procedure. DOT uses a different truck for each side of the tube, because the eastbound tube is three feet higher above the truck than the westbound tube. The taller truck had a tight squeeze returning through the westbound tube. Paul and Charles should have paid more attention to this fact.
The crew had finished working on the eastbound tube. On the return trip to the tunnel office for their lunch break, Paul and Charles chose to ride on the high platform facing backwards, rather than climbing into the cab. This was in violation of safety rules. Paul and Charles learned one major reason for the rules when the truck turned into the westbound tunnel.
Perhaps they had forgotten that this tunnel was three feet lower than the one they had recently left. Perhaps they felt their safety helmets protected them from just about anything. They soon learned otherwise. Paul was knocked off the truck when his head hit the entrance of the tunnel and died of massive head injuries. Charles was lower down, and survived with minor injuries, earning him an At-Risk Survivor.
