BISMARCK, N.D. -- Among thousands of people frantically flapping in the snow yesterday in an attempt to set the record for the most snow angels ever made were parents, children, even snowplow drivers.

And then there was Pauline Jaeger -- who on her 99th birthday, was making her very first angel.

"I feel just like a kid," she said. "It's fun."

More than 8,900 people flapped their arms and legs on the North Dakota Capitol grounds in an attempt to reclaim the record, which was snatched away about a year ago in Michigan.

The Guinness Book of Records still must confirm the number.

The snow angel category was created in 2002.

Angels? They'd better watch out or they will be denied entry because they are members of the 'religious right' and deemed too Chirstian.
