In the 1880's thru the 1930's, my greatgrandparents didn't mind a bit how "flat" Kansas is. They prospered greatly as Stock Farmers.

Director of the Kansas Geological Survey?

Must be a high pressure position! Give that man a vacation.

"I think this is part of a vast breakfast food conspiracy to denigrate Kansas. It's a cheap shot."--Lee Allison

Outstanding quote!

I read once that if the Earth were the size of a cue ball, it would be smoother.

Sort of makes you wonder what it might be like exploring a cue ball the size of the Earth.

Yes, but is Kansas flatter than Gwyneth Paltrow?

"Simply put, our results show that Kansas is considerably flatter than a pancake," wrote the researchers from Southwest Texas State University and Arizona State University.

Tell that to these intrepid (tepid?) explorers who scaled Kansas' highest peak, Mt. Sunflower.

Flatter than Eleanor Clift?

I love wide open country!

You just have to look for the nice places!

Atchison, KS

Witchita, KS
And, like Frank Zappa said: 'Who could imagine that they would freak out in Kansas?'

This reminds me of a business trip I was on to Wichita flying 1st class. The stewardess was interested in what why we were going there. I told her we were researching a new location for a ski resort.

Well, it would be better with a few IHOPs scattered about.

If you think Kansas is flat, come down and see the Louisiana and Texas Gulf Coast.

The Flint Hills sure as heck aren't flatter than a pancake.

Eastern Colorado is more dull than western Kansas, and that is saying something.

Florida is flatter than KS in many spots.

Ever since I drove the length of Kansas, I've wondered if Kansans fall asleep behind the wheel with greater frequency than other people.

Pancake Ping

The only way to really tell would be to pour Mrs. Butterworth's syrup all over Kansas and see how much runs into Colorado and Nebraska.

[rintense]

Oh. I thought Sheryl Crow was flatter than a pancake.

[mathluv]

And they needed to spend grant money to figure this out?
