Actually we're Mexico's attic.

It is sad though that so many Americans have no sense of global direction.

NO! NO! NO!
Mexico is our basement, where we hide the illegals.
Canada is where we stick the grumpy old uncle that is always telling us to do something else-> The ATTIC!
Everywhere else is "over there!"

(THAT is all a parody, a satire, a joke if you will)

Right. And Stockholm is the capital of Switzerland.

Oh, this is fun!

Ok, now - with resorting to google or the 'net in general, let's see how many of the American rabble can name:

1) Australia's capital city.

2) Australia's largest city.

3) 2 of Australia's States. (and no, I won't accept "queensland" or "Brisbane", cause they're in my profile - I want different answers!).

1) Canberra..cause I live in a Walter Burley Griffin house and WBG was the architect of Canberra...also we entertained a few of your Canberra city planners and engineers a couple of years back when they came in to see the WBG houses and thge Frank LLoyd Wright houses here in Chicago.

2) I'm going to have to guess on this one...Sydney? Though are we talkin' square footage or population?

3) New South Wales and Victoria...I've had the advantage of reading "In A Sunburned Country" by Bill Bryson and enjoyed every page of it. I have repeatedly recommended it to several of my friends and relatives and they blow me off...they're missing a treat.

Best
