Carolyn Egerszegi - This is so fun!! I LOVE geography. On the US quiz I got 42 states right away and then drew a blank, but I'm Canadian, so I suppose I have an excuse?! What I'm wondering is how everybody would do with the Canadian provinces and territories? Here's the link: http://www.sporcle.com/games/caprovinces.php. Fun! Oh, and I haven't tried to tackle the UN countries yet but I'll let you know when I do.
MattDJ - Dang. I got 39/50. This didn't make me feel good at all. I'm not coming back to your blog for a pick-me-up any time soon. ;-)
Kellie - so considering i'm an aussie... i think i did pretty good at the naming the 50 states of the us... i did 27 in 3 mins. then i got a little stuck and looked at a map for a few refreshers! haha
Jenni - This is my favorite blog you have done to date. Love the lessons and for a geog nerd like me, I am in heaven!
Chris Enzaldo - Total nerd, Melissa! Let's see just how good you really are, though. I actually wrote some tests (because I'm cool like that). I'd be interested to see how you do. And you learn a ton.

Jo - That's awesome. I think I'm going to be searching for that shower curtain now since I have always been teased for being the worst at geography.
Mary Jane - That is so funny! Mark and I were trying to remember all of the capital cities over Thanksgiving and we felt so stupid! LOL. Cute post!
Casey Figlewicz - How did you guys get so fast...To smart for me:)
Carolyn Wells - Oh, we have a lot in common...we should catch up some time! :) I was/am a nerd too, and I actually OWNED this shower curtain (a much older version) growing up :-) It's the only shower curtain I remember...I was a big fan of the "Where in the ... is Carmen Sandiego" series, and I learned that 50 Nifty state song too (I'm teaching it to my kids)! Anyways, it's great finding other hidden nerds out there :-) Thanks for sharing :) I was looking for a pic taken yesterday...
Calvin - Those are excellent places to learn countries. I hope I can find some time to brush up on my countries and states. Great job Melissa.
Omari Dickens - Proud to say I was able to finish all 50 states with 1:50 remaining. Can't believe I couldn't remember Nevada until the end
Katee L. - This was great! I did all the 50 states, in alphabetical order, based on a song (I can still remember) from fifth grade...CRAZY! Love it!
denise karis - !!!! Thats me too!!! oh, I thought i was the only one that took online country quizes - I feel so dumb when I look at a map and dont know where a specific country or city is - so I started doing those last year - theyre sooo much fun
Morgan - Ah I love it!! It makes me want a new shower curtain. :-)
shannon - NERD ALERT!!! LOL
Great score though! hehe
ericamay - ha ha... i love this! :) i can totally relate. i bet we would've been friends in high school. :) does it make me a nerd if i can name all of the states in alphabetical order??? hee hee.
erin harvey - I am totally a nerd as well, and geography happens to be one of my favorite subjects! I'm pretty sure I can react faster to "go north" than "turn right". I guess that is sad. =)
Melli - The nerdiness starts already with taking a picture of the shower curtain. ;). Nevertheless, what a cool shower curtain. Now, next, learn the capital cities of all these countries... . :-)
j. - if you loved this try http://freerice.com/index.php has various subjects and with each right answer they donate 10 grains of rice to the UN world food program. Of and I don't work for them....just like playing and seeing how much french from high school stuck.
Tira J - Totally classic. I need that shower curtain!
Liza - I am not a nerd by any means...but I don't shy away from a challenge! Good job BTW, you got a great score! :)
lisa - yeah....i only got like 50! (i need to buff up on my geography!!)
Emily - Your Heart's Desire - Ok. I suck. I came up with a whopping 25 countries... but it is late and I claim that as my excuse. On the otherhand I got all but 5 of my 50 states! I will try again tomorrow and see how I do. By the way... Nerd is the new cool! :)
jess - jamie....oh my gosh i think YOU WIN the NERD contest (said politely and in love OF COURSE!) but to be from another country and even give a HOOT! ha ha ha! that is gReAt! =0)
Meghan - I absolutely LOVE the 50 states game! I have to master that before I move onto countries :-) Glad I'm not the only nerd here!
lroah - Great blog post!!! Hilarious - love that you then went back to take a photo of said shower curtain. :)
Jamie Delaine - YOU ARE ADORABLE! Hahah!! And one of the best bloggers around. So entertaining.
Man, I'm SO like you. But we already knew that right!!?
I remember one summer I found this bookmark I had with all of the US presidents listed. I memorized the whole list. Then forgot it the next year...because...really. I'm Canadian. So who cares. ;)
jess - we artsy fartsy peeps....well lets put it this way...WE DON"T CARE! ha ha ha! i love you! we just like the colors...he he he! =0)
