Kansas

Kansas is right smack dab in the middle of the United States. It spawns several Knox students each year.

The western half of the state bears an uncanny topographical resemblence to eastern Colorado. The eastern half of Kansas was the original inspiration for Missouri, but then Missouri screwed up and created Branson, which really kind of ruined the whole concept. Regardless, despite being known as "flat as a pancake", eastern Kansas is actually covered with beautiful rolling hills. Even Kansans come to Knox and bitch about how flat Illinois is.

Geography

The divide between eastern and western Kansas is not exactly geographically accurate. Salina and Wichita are generally considered the western border of "Eastern" Kansas, even though a full two-thirds of the state lies west of it. West of Salina is the farm land that spawned Bob Dole. East of Salina are all the major cities of Kansas (Manhattan, Topeka, Lawrence, and Kansas City.) The far south eastern corner of Kansas might as well be part of Missouri as it is full of hillbillies.

All of Kansas City is not in Kansas. The only widely accepted reasoning for this is to confuse 5th graders learning geography.

Reputation

Despite what one would think about a state that is constantly battling about whether evolution should be taught in its schools, Kansas is actually a modern area with all the newest technological advances known to the fancy people on the coasts. Everything is, in fact, up to date in Kansas City, and more often than not Wichita.

Wizard of Oz Jokes

The easiest way to verify that someone is from Kansas is to make a Wizard of Oz joke. If the person rolls their eyes and has to force a smile, they are probably from Kansas. Kansans HATE The Wizard of Oz.

We've never met Dorothy, Toto, or the Scarecrow. We've never clicked our heels to get home.
