Proof Is In: Kansas Is Flatter Than A Pancake

Posted by timothy on from the but-is-it-as-boring-as-hell dept.

plotdot writes "When motorists drive across Kansas with its expansive, fertile fields of grain, they most often observe that the state is flat as a pancake. Now, three scientists have proved that observation wrong. The May/June issue of Annals of Improbable Research (AIR) carries a story by Mark Fonstad, William Pugatch, and Brandon Vogt proving that Kansas is actually flatter than a pancake."

    this was reported on TechTV! any worthy slashdotter heard this story 2-3 days ago (not quite sure, ive been drunk the past week or so, so all my days have blurred together.

    In any event, the summary is that a pancake has more bubbles in it under a microscope, and kansas is pretty damn flat... blah blah blah
