Anyway, let's go past that lame introduction and into our first post. The other day I was thinking about Kansas, and how little people know about this state I live in. So I made a list of five things you never knew about Kansas:
- The highest point in Kansas is Mount Sunflower. You can be on top of Mount Sunflower and not even know it. Mount Sunflower is not a mountain. It's a hill.
- Pizza Hut was originally founded in Wichita, Kansas, in 1958. Open any Kansas history textbook, and you will find one chapter about the Kansa Indians, one about Amelia Earhart, and eight about Pizza Hut.
- There is no Wizard of Oz. There is no Dorothy, no Toto, no Tin Man or Cowardly Lion. But if you think that they exist in Kansas, you may be the scarecrow.
- The headquarters of Garmin and Sprint are located in Kansas. (They were founded there as well). This does not explain why you can still get lost in the middle of nowhere without cell phone coverage in Kansas.
- The 1918 flu pandemic began in Kansas. The current Secretary of Health and Human Services is also from Kansas. I'm sure that makes you feel much better.*
