You think it's funny, that New Jersey residents don't know that Nebraska
is a state?  I heard on the news a few days ago that seniors at several
Boston high schools were given a geography and current events test, and
more than half could not find the US on an unlabeled map of the world!
Some freshman or sophomore classes did a little better than the seniors.
