Description

Happy Statehood Day Kansas! — It's a #TBT day! Today in 1861, Kansas became the 34th U.S. State. To show you how much we care, here's a photo of a giant mushroom rock. See, who said we're not gneiss people?

For those that don't know, this is a photo from 1916 of Pulpit rock near Alum Creek south of Carneiro, in Ellsworth County, Kansas, which is a hard mass of Dakota sandstone that has resisted erosion better than the underlying softer bed that forms its pedestal. The two dubious looking characters under the mushroom rock do not appear to have any pipe wrenches in their hands and, though they're wearing hats, we don't see the letters "M" or "L" on them. Therefore, we can scientifically conclude that they are not Mario and Luigi. Move on people, nothing to see here.
