Scored an F on Western Africa! In my defense, they're all kind of squggly.... I think I'd better go have some breakfast and try to jumpstart my neurons.
You've got my support. Just think of me as...as your... You know, I'm searching for 'supportive things' and I'm coming up all bras.

5/150 on West Africa. F. I did a bit better in the North because the Middle East one had refreshed my memory, but still not great.

120 for se asia and only 2 wrong for USA, I'm impressed. I fact I thought the game was broken because it kept saying that I was correct.
Eta, my atlas would've been a big help for the SE Asia quiz, it still shows Fr Indochina, Burma, Siam, and Malay States.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am a pathetic world citizen. I scored crap on everything but the US, in which I kicked total ass.

OK, only two mistakes in name that state, but the second one was less forgivable...I thought South Dakota was Missouri !

feeling too stupid to live right now.
I have geography dyslexia! I swear! Aren't there any quizzes on, say, world literature?

raising eyebrow at Am-Chau.
I see though your attempt to bring more geography into my life! Unfortunately, I have to go back to work now, or I'd go right into that link and kick some ass.

I do my best. However, I linked that before I read any of the 'poems' concerned. We may be more in 'doggeral' territory (I think it's somewhere in Asia, but I couldn't be sure.)

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
West Africa is very hard. Because there is an Equitoreal Guinea; a Guinea; and a Guinea Bissau. I did get Nigeria, Cote D'Ivoire and Ghana right, because famous people come from there, and the Gambia, because there are not many countries shapes like a snake. And Burkina Faso, because how can you forget a country whose main city is Ougadougou?
Southeast Asia I did pretty well, and most of the rest of Africa is big countries. For several years of my childhood, I would get 48/50 on state tests, because I couldn't for the life of me distinguish between Kansas and Nebraska. Now I'm an adult, I realize there's no good reason to distinguish between them, except for college basketball purposes.
