Smarter than a 5th Grader (12/20/2007) *Spoilers*

[Sirius Black]

ok, I admit this show grows on me but only because I think Jeff Foxworthy is pretty funny.

Anyway, yesterday had a question on US Geography.

The question was How Many States Do not share a border with another state?.

According to my calculations there are three. 1) Hawaii. 2) Alaska. 3) Rhode Island.

That would have been wrong though. The correct answer on the show was 2 states.

After looking it up, I found that the show is correct. Rhode Island really isn't an island. It turns out that the state's full name is State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations.

I am not smarter than a 5th grader. :o :)

Am I missing something? Did you really think RI was an island?

The blonde girl that was on second sure was a ditz.

Why would you call something an island that isn't an island? Yes, I'm afraid to say I really thought Rhode Island was an island.

Well, I guess the fact that you've spent so much time in Azkaban or hiding out at 12 Grimmauld Place is a pretty good excuse for not knowing your U.S. geography. ;)
