Im not ashamed that some of our "finest" students didnt know the capital of Canada. Lets face it Geography isnt something thats well taught in school any more, and isnt even studied except for one or two of you younger years, and thats mostly just the US states and capitals.

Im more ashamed of what I seen...

I'd bet they would have done much better if they'd been given a crack at identifying who Rob Ford is though. nicker:

LOL TRT, that one cracked me up...

It's RobFordTown. That's the Capitol. It's in the little-known province Canadian province of FatAss, I'm pretty sure...

Who cares it's Canada. We're Americans here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"The jokes write themselves: It’s Nudity Week at Brown University. A sampling from the roster of events: “Love Being Naked? Want to be Naked More? Want to watch others perform naked? Want to step out of your comfort zone? Want to talk about nudity?”

In my five years of college, I can only think of one professor who was an overt liberal and even he never got political except for his belief in the ridiculous notion that there was a real energy shortage back in the 70s. Political ideology trumps all else with today's crop of professors.
