Friend was on a biz trip to Philly. Told lady he was from Iowa and she kept saying you mean Ohio. No, Iowa. "I've never heard of that. Is it in the US? Is it just a province, or what?"
When I think about how shockingly dumb some people are -- many adults can't follow the simplest of directions -- it amazes me more people don't die in household accidents. Think about all the stupid ways you could kill yourself just around your own house: mixing the wrong OTC drugs, mixing the wrong household chemicals (bleach and ammonia), just to name a couple. I can't believe more people don't show up on the Darwin Awards.I just... I don't... wow. Some people are just so freaking stupid.
I feel dumb because I can't recite all of the state capitols from memory any more. I can't imagine if I didn't know what was a state or not.
My brother had a couple of guys in boot camp ask him if Iowa was in the US. But that was boot camp and they don't always get the sharpest tools in the shed.Friend was on a biz trip to Philly.

My 9 year old can name every state in the union, can recognize them by their outline and place them correctly on a blank map of the US. He can also generally name all of the capitals but he does need a clue from time to time. And he has been able to do this for a couple of years now. All of this and they are just starting to really dig into states at his school. He pretty much just taught himself.
See, so even your two year old is smarter than some of these people.Yeah, well my 2 yr old counted to 11 yesterday. Suck it.
I don't think Charles is really that stupid. I think he misspoke and clowned with it. He certainly doesn't take himself very seriously.
He and Walton need to do a game together sometime.
Agreed. I think it's mostly shtick with Charles.I don't think Charles is really that stupid. I think he misspoke and clowned with it. He certainly doesn't take himself very seriously.

I usually can get all the capitals, but i can't do it in a short time-frame. I'll get 80% or so within a few minutes, then random states trip me up (and it isn't always the same states).
For example, I took this Sporcle quiz, and required 9 of the 10 minutes to get all 50.

Once, after I'd told someone I'm from Iowa they asked if it was cool growing up by the mountains.When I think about how shockingly dumb some people are -- many adults can't follow the simplest of directions -- it amazes me more people don't die in household accidents.
