"Was there a point to this?"

Humor. Don't like it? Then don't visit next week's Dave Barry thread either.

That was fun. I had trouble at first until I realized that you had to make sure the arrow was on the state, not just the name. lol.
Thanks

Yep, it's kind of picky. Try it on a laptop

That's how we should teach geography.

I still remember my grade-school lessons: Germany and Austria got Hungary and went to eat Turkey but slipped on Greece.

and are finding their destination cities by, in the words of an airline spokesperson, ``flying real low and following buses.''

I received a "Dave Barry" audio tape that I listened to during a long road trip. He announced that Richard Nixon should get down on his knees and pray to God for forgiveness over Vietnam. Never said a word about Johnson, "Whiz Kid" McNamara or anyone else. Haven't read an article by him since, including this one, yuk-yuk.
