Kansas Unofficially Named The Best State To Survive The Apocalypse

[Initech]

ATCHISON, Kan. -- After most of the world's population is wiped off the map by a wayward meteorite or hail of nuclear missiles, the survival of the human race might just depend on a few thousand people huddled in recreational vehicles deep in the bowels of an eastern Kansas mine.

That's the vision of a California man who is creating what he calls the world's largest private underground survivor shelter, using a complex of limestone caves dug more than 100 years ago beneath gently rolling hills overlooking the Missouri River.

"I do believe I am on a mission and doing a spiritual thing," said Robert Vicino, who has purchased a large portion of the former U.S. Army storage facility on the southeast edge of Atchison, about 50 miles northwest of Kansas City, Mo. "We will certainly be part of the genesis."

1. Wow. The idjits will think of just about anything

to justify their believe that their defective DNA will be passed down somehow...

2. I think they're referring to the caves.

There is a rather extensive network of caves along the MO River, on the MO/KS border.

3. Might want to check out this volume of future history:

The Gods Hate Kansas, by Joseph Millard (1941).

Made into a passable sci-fi movie, too.
