No, that was only the old black and white version of Kansas. It was when the States was moving over to colour so the studio managed to buy it for a song.*

Topeka, Kansas, doesn't exist. Not anymore, anyway. It got blown up in a Superman comic.

Well, I'm leaving tomorrow morning, whether or not it still exists. If I come home three feet tall and squeaky, you know who to blame.

I live in Kansas, but I live in the 'burbs around KC, K. Too far away from Wichita for me to bother, and I'm in the middle of tests. But I will be going to school there in about 6 months.
Where are you from, Leko?

Kansas is the "Buckle of the Bible Belt." It is the place of the evolution in public schools debate. Based on my previous posts, you can judge whether or not I'm happy about this.
