I did awful. 12. South America really through me for a loop. Mike would be glad to know I did get Chile's right though. By the way Westerville needs to be more PC by renaming Saigon St. to it's real name Ho Chi Minh City Rd.
ReplyDeleteYikes. I only got 11! Mom always says my public school education failed me in Geography - I guess she was right!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm not gonna lie, I had to look a lot of them up. I'd say I knew about half. I can proudly name all the US states and capitals (I think) but when it comes to World geography I'm not so great. Maybe I should make a list of all the countries and their capitals and study it in the bathroom :) For all 195* countries and their capitals go here: http://geography.about.com/od/countryinformation/a/capitals.htm
ReplyDelete*see link on the web page for explanation of the number 195
P.S. We are a bunch of egg heads!
15 mutha frickas! Hells yeah, although, I hang my head in shame, I messed up Nicaragua...
ReplyDeleteMatt- I don't think we make street signs big enough for Ho Chi Mihn City Rd.
