True there are many people bad at math but i have noticed that alot of "smart" people i know are terrible with geography.

heres a perfect example.

I was chatting with a doctor friend and his wife the other day and we were talking about mexico for some reason and he asked me "does mexico run from coast to coast ? " , i was pretty shocked, but even more shocking was , after i gave him a general layout of the area i mentioned cuba as being an island near florida, and i shit you not he said "cuba is an island ? "

wtf , how could you go 40 years in life and not know cuba is an island
