Zebulon Pike is a hard name to forget! :DL

i missed "where was the tierra del fuego" as i was going to put argentina, but thought against it :(

also missed pikes peak and the badlands.

I was actually amazed i knew all the other stuff though. My history teachers hardly taught me anything, as either i knew it all already or they kept babbling on about the emotions and whatever nonsense that could've obviously been inferred or they ranted about things that really didnt matter.

Thats why i really didnt like my English classes. They forced you to read (at least in my case) some painfully dull books. And they would rant about how every paragraph of the book was symbolizing the world in some way. Instead of simply reading the book and Maybe every so often ask those types of questions, they would try to break the story down page by page and get lost in flurries of tangents that, in all honesty, didnt make sense anyway.

But i think that little history quiz in the link was easy as pie. :up:

THEN AGAIN, those old timers had to just know itby heart, without multiple choice. Mightve gotten a couple more wrong..., and they couldve marked off answers that were partly right but didnt fit a certain criteria

That would have killed the average American of the time.

Give it 10 years, it will kill that generation too. If you keep letting them blame teachers (and police and firefighters) for deficits (like here in NJ)
