Sad, but true...

I thought to myself -- how stupid -- of course people could name 10 countries in Africa, but then I thought, "Hmmm, actually, he's probably right" (well, but for that "there's lots of Africans around here" loophole I so lawyerly discovered!)

Then again, you'd probably be hard-pressed to find 3 people who could name all 50 states, so I guess it's not really rant-worthy.
The original trivial pursuit game has a question card on countries in Africa -- it is always amazing to me how badly most people do on it.

So what is the largest country in Africa?
