Our Dumb State

I've been playing around with Google maps lately, & I've created one of Iowa called "Our Dumb State: That's Where The Tall Corn Grows".

Click the pic below to open this Google map. On the Google map, click any of the onions to see a link to an Onion newsstory about/set in the specified Iowa city.

(I got this idea from reading The Onion for the last several yrs & noticing that there are a lot of stories which take place in Iowa. I can't say if there are more in Iowa per capita than other states--but a lot nonetheless.)

Notice that there are no Onion newsstories in the southwest or mid-south of the state. That's because those areas contain only very smart people.
