If not, you wouldn't have to go far. Can you say "rain forest"?

Aw c'mon. They wanted to do a zoo, but zoos are non-PC animal jails.
(cf. "Madagascar" this weekend.) Now a big corn maze would be the
epitome of Iowa culture, but there are liability problems. People from
North Dakota would get lost in one and you'd only find their skeletons
years later. A butterfly habitat would be terrific, but Iowans
wouldn't know what to eat them with. So a rainforest was the answer.
I mean, you couldn't have one near Seattle. They already have a real
rainforest somewhere betwen Humptulips and Forks, (are they ever going
to have a casino at La Push, or are the Indians concentrating them all
along 99 in Tukwila?) which Seattlites can find if they're a) smart
enough to find the right carpool lane to get to the Fauntleroy Ferry,
and b) not smart enough to get off at Vashon.
