wgn_worldcup_map.jpgThis priceless image from WGN News in Chicago on June 16 was noted by the Huffington Post Comedy.   It is being circulated (outside the US) with the title “No wonder they can’t find Bin Laden.”  Ouch.

lilly_world_map_master.jpgThis-Two Year Old is a Better Geographer than You (in the All Points Blog) caught my attention,  just too cute to pass up.  The 2007 YouTube videowas originally a response to the Miss Teen USA South Carolina answers a question. (See Sept 2007 post Sniggering).  Apparently Lilly was later on Oprah, and Jay Leno.  The video has been viewed over 4 million times.  Maybe it would be nice if more parents played map games like this with their kids.  map_plates_from_what_on_earth.jpg

Or you could buy these plates and teach them that there are just eight countries in Europe.  (The makers might have at least made a toothpick dish out the Netherlands.)
