Have you ever wondered why we have all of these pointless states in the middle? How on earth did they ever come to be? Who exactly would deign to live there? Do we need them? I have a theory that answers all of these questions:
The Oregon Trail!
That's right!! The people who settled in the boring, pointless states such as: Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas(sorry Tara!), Missouri, Idaho... These were the people whose wagons broke down. They over-packed their wagons and broke the axles. You might be thinking, well, what about Arkansas(sorry Ash!) and Oklahoma? How in the hell did they come about? Those states were settled by the people who chose to take the "road less traveled". Yup, they were trying to avoid traffic--and it backfired. The wagons broke down. So not only were they too far from the trail to get help--they were stuck in Arkansas and Oklahoma. So there you have it--the mystery is solved! You're welcome! ;)
