Illinois is, in fact, flat

[Max Rockatansky]

Let's be real, it totally is.

[ZLoth]

Not as flat as Florida, but close enough.

I see you have not spent much time in Northwestern (Galena area) or Southern (Shawnee Forest) Illinois. 

[ZLoth]

From what I understand, Illinois is the second flattest state.

Amusing unlike Lord Carhorn I actually clinched all the counties in Illinois when I lived there.  I never understood how that guy thought he could claim to be an expert on the state if he had only visited about 60% of the counties.

Yes, that is accurate.  Thing was that this didn't become a forum meme because of anyone trying to defend the honor of Florida.  K12 clearly has read some of this Crash_It stuff if he dug up this Flat Illinois business.  I don't know why he thinks it is a good idea to champion the cause of this forum's greatest villain.

He once told me that Michigan is flatter than Illinois. Like really? I don't think so. Then after that he proceeded to tell me that Saginaw County is Michigan's flattest county. Then come to find out he had only been to Niles and not any further into the state.

Illinois does have its non-flat areas, but I think people overstate how nice they are because the rest of the place is mind-numbingly flat.

My bigger issue with Crash It was his insistence that Illinois had superior quality of roads despite showing him actual Streetview pics from around that state of shitty roads.  I have been to roughly 85 of the 102 counties in this state. With few exceptions, it is flat. The Driftless Area by Galena is more because of the glaciers that came down from Wisconsin. The Shawnee Forest is beautiful with rolling hills but that's from being in the Ohio and Mississippi Valleys.

It was a strange hill to die on.  But then again, there was a lot of strange hills with him.

Let's debate whether the Earth is flat.

I want to say it's flat, but the space it occupies is curved, so it's flat because it runs parallel to the space it occupies but it forms a sphere because that's the shape of that space, suggesting that there's a black hole in the middle.

When I run a mathematical analysis,  I find that the curvature is not even.  The analysis indicates that Illinois and portions of adjacent states lie within a transition zone.  The area is perfectly flat.  Space rises with every hill and falls with every valley.  The ground is perfectly level with the space it's in.  The greatest elevation variability in any state, and anywhere in the world, is in Florida, due to a random spatial flexure.  Texas, strangely, is concave, lying tens of thousands of feet below what would be sea level if not for a spatial bubble pulling its apparent elevation upward.

It appears we live in a strange world in which fate is determined by gravity.  This tells us that the black hole beneath us is the future.  It won't destroy the planet because we'll move closer but never get to it.

Round and flat are not necessarily exclusive in the case of a planet, unlike in the case of a person.

Anything is flat if you experience reality only in two dimensions.

Illinois should build a 1:1 scale replica of Denali in Forgottonia to settle this debate once and for all.

Was this in any way associated with the thread How to determine the flatness of a state? Pass the aspirin...?

I don't think you were part of the Lord Carhorn wars?  I referenced it though in my reply to you in the thread you just linked.

It must be sad if you were born in a place where the majority of those counted for hills. I'd be responding to hill enlargement emails if that were me.

This isn't the first time I've seen you post a bunch of links to sad-looking hills to defend the non-flatness of Illinois. Do you have a folder of these saved up or something?
