Question about Lander Rail Tickets
I'm a bit confused about the weekend Lander pass. If I buy it on Saturday, is it good until 3am MONDAY morning...or just until 3am Sunday? I'll be buying the single version, for travel in Baden-Wirtenburg.

You might be eligible for free rail (and bus) travel on a "Konus-Karte" in the Black Forest region if that's where you're going to be; follow the links to see a list of participating host towns:

Bamberg, Nurnberg and Wurzburg are all in Bavaria, so are covered by the Bayern Ticket.
Most if not all of Franconia is in Bavaria, so is also covered.
However, if you are travelling on Saturday or Sunday, you can buy a Schoenes Wochenende Ticket which is valid for EITHER Saturday OR Sunday throughout ALL OF GERMANY.
Individual Lander tickets are available for weekday travel.

Laender Ticket, Nuernberg, Wuerzburg

As much as Boston is part of the USA.

Actually, on the weekends and holidays, the Laender Tickets are also good from midnight. From www.bahn.de:
This [Bavaria Laender] ticket is valid from Monday to Sunday for one day of your choice from 9 a.m. until 3 a.m. of the following day (on bank holidays for the whole day)on Saturday and Sunday and bank holidays from from 0 a.m. until 3 a.m. of the following day.
While here it's not quite clear as it states both 9 and midnight, the German page clearly states it it good from midnight:
Wann?
Länder-Tickets gelten von montags bis freitags von 9.00 Uhr bis 3.00 Uhr des Folgetages (an Feiertagen ganztägig), sowie samstags oder sonntags von 0.00 Uhr bis 3.00 des Folgetags.
