Did Illinois invade and annex Iowa?

I can't believe this thread is still going on.

Since it is, I should bring up something that no one has considered yet: Illinois includes part of Lake Michigan. Because of all the waves, the water is rarely if ever flat. Therefore, Illinois isn't flat.

Yes it is!
Don’t ask me how I know.  Just understand that I do.

I, L, and N are all made of straight (flat) lines. O and S are made of curved (not flat) lines.

Thus ILLINOIS is 75% flat.

Amazed (well not really) that not every letter in Illinois isn't flat.

Simple, the forum gods are a vengeful lot.  I'm amazed (well not really) that you expected this thread to die a quick death.

This thread will both die at some point and live on forever. Think about it.

This thread wants us to kill it so it can break free of its meaty cocoon and become a being of pure energy.

Is this the part where I embed a black-and-white Wikipedia photo of some Texas senator from the 1800s and ramble on about whatever crosses my stream of consciousness for a few paragraphs?

Sounds like Illinois is quickly morphing into a fictional wonderland we both love and loathe.

Amazing (well not really) that all of you haven't gotten on the Illinois isn't flat bandwagon.  I feel like going out to my garage and smashing the horn of my car.

Potentially. This is also a great opportunity to spread some of that enriching fictional culture. 'Twas the Alanlandites who said "The longer the quote..."

Are the ghosts haunting Illinois highways also flat?

I dated a woman from Illinois once.  She was flat too.

In 37 out of 102 counties.

Was she a spooky specter in the other 65 counties?  If so, a flat spooky specter?

No because the 65 counties are flat compared to the other 37, however 63 of them are not flat according to the world's foremost authority on hilliness, yet all 102 still rank as the second flattest group of counties in the nation. So therefore, we can unironically say that Illinois is both flat and not flat.

You're not winning. What exactly is your obsessive point of trying to prove Illinois isn't flat? Of course it's not entirely flat. But it's not Colorado, and outside of a couple areas, it's not scenic even in most of the hillier areas. A few hills does not mean great scenery worth fighting everyone to try to defend your state over.

Illinois is not scenic.

And it's still flat.

Compared to most of the US, Illinois is flat. And it's more boring than the "flatter" Plains states (which really aren't that flat).
