Last week, National Public Radio shared the results of a study in which 25% of US citizens polled didn't know whether the sun went around the Earth or vice versa. This is not a phenomenon unique to the US, but American ignorance of world geography well may be.
I used to know a Bulgarian geography professor at the University of Pittsburgh who ranted about this. Every year, he gave the freshman students an outline map and ten countries to locate. This was half a century ago, but I'll bet it's not much better today. They couldn't find Canada, some of them.

Speaking of Canada....
If you dug a deep enough well in Manitoba, you could drink Canada dry.

That is why I always make sure that there's a trampoline of pile of hay under the nearest window when I say provocative things.
When I was in Prague, I heard an ancient story about someone who was thrown out a window, but he had a soft landing on some hay.

It's funnier in German. It's called 'der Prager Fenstersturz'.
