Fun:Kansas

Oh yeah, buff'loed!

Kansas is a monolithic rectangular state somewhere at the point of no return in the midwestern United States. It is tilted gently uphill from Missouri, to Colorado on the other side, and is (literally) flatter than a pancake (with the exception of a string of small mounds known as the "Flint Hills" in the eastern half of the state). Don't expect any miracles out of nowhere in this relentless paradox of a state, because nobody's home and there is no room for a stranger. Don't open your eyes because there is a lot of dust in the wind.
