ABBA live in North Carolina?  Must be quite a change for them.

No - they live 'on' North Carolina.  Ya know - gravity and all that.

I live in the area called "Missouri".  But I have friends who live IN an opal mine.

Um no, you live "on" the area called "Missouri".  Unless you live in a cave or missile silo.

Sorry, but there's no vacuum above the ground. The air is part of the state. I live in the air that is part of the state of Missouri.

One lives "in" an area described by some kind of boundary. A state line or the city limits would be salient examples. I think Brain putting this in the "Humor" section is an unintentional funny of some sort, though.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
