Zombie Outbreak reported (semi spam alert)
« on: October 12, 2011, 02:56:37 PM »
OK, so it really is an ad for Brownell's.

But I was surprised to see the Zombie Outbreak has started in Iowa.

Apparently rural living and the inability to distinguish between cows and women visually offers no protection.

Run for the hills!  Oh, wait!  There are no hills in Iowa - it's almost as flat as Kansas.  Too bad.

stay safe.

First of all, I've been through Kansas.  Stared at the same tree on the horizon as I approached it, and then as I left it in the rearview mirror.  I know that it does not take hours to cover 27 miles, but I did share the same feeling Columbus must have experienced as he approached land from the ocean.  And another 27 miles for the tree to drop below the horizon again.  Diodn't take a genius like me long to figure out why farm dogs preferred fence posts to trees out there.

Second of all, how many tax dollars do you have?

stay safe.

Easy Skid. Not nice to crack wise about someone's home state. I've been through Kansas too, several times, and there's definitely hill country. Not so much on the main interstates but get out into the real areas and there is.

Now play nice. Don't taunt a guy who's stuck in the sandbox about the place he used to call home.

Well what part of KS did you drive.

And as for tax dollars, since I am currently on active duty all my money is tax dollars. :laugh: >:D

I hunted up and down plenty of hills growing up in eastern KS to know it's not flat.

The real problem in your post is that Iowans like sheep not cows.

I saw a similar study done comparing earth to a billiard ball.  From the peak of Everest to the Mariana Trench, earth is still smoother than a billiard ball, when you adjust for scale.  It's not round enough to be a billiard ball though.

Amusing, but people who engage in pseudo-erudition really should learn to at least write basic English correctly.

This obvious question “how flat is a pancake” spurned our analytical interest, ...
"Spurned"?

SPURN:

intransitive verb

1. obsolete a : stumble b : kick 1a

2. archaic : to reject something disdainfully

transitive verb

1. : to tread sharply or heavily upon : trample

2. : to reject with disdain or contempt : scorn


Quote
Figure 3. When viewed at a scale of 50 mm, a pancake appears more rugged than the Grand Canyon.

50 mm isn't a scale, it's a dimension.

My dad's side of the family is from Kansas.  I've driven through many times.  It's flat.  Next question?

My wife and I rode across Kansas on our way to Colorado. When we left Hayes I could stand on the foot boards and see Denver. And smell Goodland.

Iowa isn't that flat either, parts of it are but for the most part it is a lot of rolling topography.
