Exchange that may amuse only me

Google talk exchange between my sister and I while watching the season premiere of American Idol:

Kelsey [in reference to the commonly-heard excuse of those whose auditions went poorly, "But I have a degree in vocal performance!"]: "I bet it wasn't from a good university."

Me [in reference to the audition location of Minneapolis and thinking of the funniest-named town in Minnesota]: "Yeah, probably Bemidji State University."

Well, it turns out there actually is a Bemidji State University. Who knew?

Fun with Geography, Euro-style

I found the follow-up to the 50 States game. If you'd hated placing U.S. states on a blank map, you'll hate placing European countries on a map even more! Good luck locating Luxembourg!!
