If you want to find the highest spot in Iowa just drop a quarter on the ground.

The Iowa thing, combined with rock climbing where there aren't any hills reminds me a lot of the famous "Ski Terre Haute" posters.

Hah.

The highest point in Iowa 1670ft, but the lowest is 480 ft, so the difference is 1190 ft., 12 times taller than that dorm building.

And the Netherlands has you beat with 1053 ft and minus 23 ft.

That said, I've driven across Iowa a dozen times... Damn, that's flat.

I thought the original quote was referring to the average women in those two places.
