    CNN.com - Study: Kansas is flatter than pancake
    A scientific comparison of the topography of Kansas to a pancake shows the state, known for its vast, even fields, is in fact really, really flat, geographer Mark Fonstad of Southwest Texas State University and colleagues found.

    'While driving across the American Midwest, it is common to hear travelers remark, 'This state is as flat as a pancake,'' they wrote in their report, published in the Annals of Improbable Research.

    'Simply put, our results show that Kansas is considerably flatter than a pancake.'"
