I overheard a conversation in an elevator today involving a dude (a Chinese dude, for those of you keeping track...) proclaiming (and lamenting -- actually more Dennis-Miller-ranting) that you could go outside on the street and would have a hard time finding 3 people who could name 10 countries in Africa (while I understand the point he was making, that's probably not true, as you'd probably find several Africans that would be able to perform that feat... but I digress).

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.
