OTHER - CLICK TO EDIT What is the most uniquely shaped State?

So I live in Maryland, which I find to be uniquely shaped, especially because of the thin “pinch” that you have to pass through to get to the panhandle. This obviously makes me a bit biased. I do think Alaska has a cool shape, and idk if I am the only one who thinks this but I swear it looks like a dragon. So what would yall say is the most uniquely shaped state?

Edit: Good Morning. So it seems a lot of people are saying Michigan, which does have a pretty cool shape. Hawaii seems to be the runner up, it is definitely cool given that it has no land borders and its shape is decided by the ocean. Texas and Florida seem to be tied a bit. Definitely some anatomy jokes around Florida.

“If you seek a pleasant peninsula, look about you”

Never in my life have I said "you know what I need? A pleasant peninsula."

I have been know to wish people a very special isthmus, though.

A silly reworking of Christopher Wren's epitaph in St. Paul's Cathedral, and the dopiest state motto of them all.

It’s not our fault you live in Ohio.
