Geography Quiz
Using the map in my last post, an alternative map from the source of you choice, or by driving from state to state and asking around (for those of you who are "social" learners and/or for 5 points extra credit), answer the following questions:
(oops, wait ..., new South Park episode break ...
Okay, I'm back. Thanks for waiting.)
1) Which state is the most sociable (i.e., has a common border with the most other states)?
2) Why?
3) Which state is the least sociable?
4) Is Lake Superior just a name or is it also an attitude and an explanation for Michigan?
5) Either:
A) If you can't read the names of the states on the map, which ones don't you recognize?
OR
B) If you can read the names of the states on the map, which ones did you think you recognized but, actually, didn't?
6) Which states have an unacceptable shape but can be forgiven for that?
7) Which states have an unacceptable shape and something MUST be done about it?

1) Which state is the most sociable (i.e., has a common border with the most other states)?
- Tennessee
2) Why?
- Why? you already said why. Because it has a common border with the most other states. But I'd like to think because it has a low self esteem and needsto hang out with the most ppl it can find. Either that or it's a perv state.
3) Which state is the least sociable?
- france.
4) Is Lake Superior just a name or is it also an attitude and an explanation for Michigan?
- lol!
5) Either:
A) If you can't read the names of the states on the map, which ones don't you recognize?
OR
B) If you can read the names of the states on the map, which ones did you think you recognized but, actually, didn't?
- A. I don't recognize most of them.
6) Which states have an unacceptable shape but can be forgiven for that?
- texas.
7) Which states have an unacceptable shape and something MUST be done about it?
- florida
Congratulations for being first to answer. I can see all the others are still busy at their desks, furtively glancing up to see whether I will give them more time as the sweat pours down their foreheads and stings their eyes.
Your prize for being first is this link:

which is access to the power to improve your geography knowledge without having to continually plead with me to lecture to you on the matter.
hrm.
lame. lame. lame. NO updates? And here I was - telling everyone to come check you out. darn.
1) Which state is the most sociable (i.e., has a common border with the most other states)?
Montana. I know it is only bordered by 4 states but it is also sociable with Canada and that deserves extra credit.
2) Why?
Why what? I just explained.....
3) Which state is the least sociable? Michigan. It's practically an island in itself.(Um Nancy...France isn't a state. he he)
4) Is Lake Superior just a name or is it also an attitude and an explanation for Michigan? I think this one is self-explainitory (see above)
5) Either:
A) If you can't read the names of the states on the map, which ones don't you recognize?
OR
B) If you can read the names of the states on the map, which ones did you think you recognized but, actually, didn't?
Neither.....I recognize most of the states so this doesn't apply to me. (Pat myself on the back)
6) Which states have an unacceptable shape but can be forgiven for that? Florida (it's a little phallic)
7) Which states have an unacceptable shape and something MUST be done about it?
TEXAS! Because it's Texas and the people think they are better for living there!
P.S. Glenn I am a good friend of Nancy's who hears about your wit and wisdom often. Good to know that now I can read and laugh at my leisure.
I know france isn't a state. But they are ~so~ unsociablle that I think they deserve to be the answer in any question.
Hi Laurel. Nice to almost meet you. I've spent lots of time going with Nancy to take care of your dog(s?); well her doing the actual going and me being on the phone keeping her company, which is the same thing. Welcome and thanks for visiting.
You get extra credit for the Montana answer. I hadn't thought about how sociable a state has to be to put up with Canada. Kind of a charity case, really.
