In response to "What is Europe? -- nm" by Bacon

my friends and I had some good laughs when we went down to Texas some years back.

A woman at a campground office couldn't get past the second or third letter when she had to write Canada on our site ticket. In fact, I'm not sure that she would have gotten the C if we hadn't started spelling right away.

Some other yahoos, when we were looking at a state map, thought that Canada was over here (small circle to the northwest of the map. They were shocked that not just Canada is bigger than Texas, but each of Ontario and Quebec are bigger. When we tried to show how huge the country is they were dumbfounded.

I've met people that thought AK was an island, down by Hawaii. Thanks to maps with the little boxes. -- nm - Ser Vermyn Apr 24, 15:04 3

- at least they've looked at a map at least once in their lives, unlike those poor African orphans -- nm - zork Apr 24, 15:05
- There are people who contact the Austrian embassy to ask about going to Austria to see kangaroos. -- nm - loosilu Apr 24, 15:05
