I think I could have in third grade - I had a wooden United States jigsaw puzzle - each state was a piece. You could have blindfolded me and I would have known. Now I just stare at them and think - Kentucky? Idaho? Illinois?

And using terms like "southeast"? We call that "lower right" where I come from, pal. :think:

| 7. "Wyoming" is a fictional state... |
|
...created to circumvent Twelfth Amendment concerns over Cheney's vice-presidential candidacy.
It's obvious they just traced Colorado.

| 11. At our Democratic county committee meeting tonight, |
|
I learned that there were all sorts of tickets to Obama's inauguration that were unclaimed by Wyoming residents. Few people wanted to go.
Some people in Illinois obtained tickets from friends and relatives in Wyoming.
Strange.

I can't tell what most of the avatars are. I see little pictures of all kinds of people and most of them I really can't tell who they are.

I am a foreigner, but can place all the states in their places. can tell you the capitals, but can't place the capitals yet.
I was wondering, how can you mistake Idaho? That state is so oddly shaped!
