[pct-l] Kansas City tourism

[jeffmoorehead1 at cox.net (Jeff Moorehead)]

a couple of math nerds with time on their hands determined that, relatively 
speaking, Kansas is flatter than a pancake. If you resize the topography of 
a pancake to the same dimensions as a real state, an average pancake looks 
more like Nebraska and Kansas is flatter than either. On the other hand, the 
nicest people I've met have been from Kansas... go figure
