Ok, I guess it's true. We Americans are poor at geography
 

I had never even heard of Burkina Faso until today.

Guess I better study up

Most I've met don't even know anything outside of their homestate wtf???

:1orglaugh

yeah, thats quite true .. very small percentage of people I met were aware and intelligent.

At first glance, this thread was doomed from the start. Then, with one swift image placement, delivery has been completed.

PS :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I mean how much are people really going to know about places they've never been, I can't count one day in the last 10 years I spent "learning my geography" you know? I learn as I go when I go places

In America we know baseball salaries instead of GDPs

Alex Rodriguez (salary) $28 million
Tuvalu (GDP) $15 million
Niue (GDP) $ 10 million

And corporations!

Exxon makes $45 million/hour 24 hours/day 365 days/year. $404 billion last year in sales.That is about equivalent to the GDP of Australia making it the 14th largest economic entity in the world including all countries and companies.

Has to be the best ever posted ... :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

But US states are like whole countries themselves! ;-)

Purportedly the states in this map are renamed after countries with similar GDPs to the state

Also interesting. Did you know that Texas is 60% bigger than Iraq?
