22~23 state capitals is a lot if you can only name 9 presidents.
Interesting…
Linkion, warshington…. Damn, I cant name ANY!
Are those capitals or presidents?
It’s true but a bad graph.
It’s also a lot if you can’t even name 20 countries…
You sir are pathetic
Or American. Geography’s not on the standardized tests, so why bother?
Graphic format FAIL.
Line Graph=amount of a single thing vs. time
Bar chart=amount of different things
Catastrophic Failure. How do these things even make it to the front page?
Line graphs best represent change. Not necessarily time.
Also, lines from a TV show don’t have names.
So you can’t possibly name them.
Damn it feels good to be a graphster!
That’s my stapler!
Office Space ROCKS!!! I have more than a few times suggested ‘going office space’ on our copier/printers at work.
I can name the first 19 presidents, in order, off the top of my head.
I’ve STILL got the fifth amendment grilled into my brain from sixth grade.
I can find, and lable every country on a blank map of europe.
It’s those pesky state capitals that get me…. and math… alwayes sucked at the math thing. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that neather of those things had a catchy song to go along with them. o0
.

People remember movies because the lines have relavence and meaning. They can apply them to situations in their day to day life. That’s the main reasion most people “belive you have my stapler” but don’t know where Belarus is.
Yeah! Wait…there’s a catchy song to help you learn the presidents and fifth amendment? Do tell !
*Sings*
Washington Adams, Jefferson Madison, Monroe & John Quincy Adams…
I know em all till Linco;ln, which is how I know he was #16.
Buchanan made me giggle. I learned the song in 4th grade and his name sounded like something else :B
I want to say Taylor, Tyler, Fillmore and Hayes, and William Henry Harrison?
(“Mediocre Presidents” – The Simpsons)
Plus, you know, I’m from the UK and so I can’t bring myself to care so much that I can’t name all 43 men who have been President. (Although for some reason that confuses me, I can apparently remember one of them gets counted twice because his two terms were not consecutive. Though which one, I couldn’t tell you).
And you get a cookie! that’s exactly the same song…
There is also that one for the states, but not the capitals.
.

Alabama alaska arizona arkansas colorado coneticut….
Forgot California. ;D
Lack of respect for Connecticut? ^^
Oh, I guess hearing the music must help a lot.
Youtube “animaniacs” and there you go.
Should be a bar chart
I think naming amendments is rather simple.
The first, the second, … the twenty-first…
And don’t forget the 33 1/3 amendment – The Amendment to amend any amendment that was previously amended
You can’t name more than 20 countries. You fail.
Name more than 15 that matter; France does not count.
Now, are you just ruling out France, or are you saying that it doesn’t matter?
Every country matters, just not to you.
Even Sealand?
Especially Sealand!
ya peter, did you not get the memo on the new cover sheets for the TPS reports?
You mean the CRIPPLED CHILDREN???
Great idea, but would have been better as “things I can remember”…
Americans
My thoughts exactly.
You’re just jealous that you have to deal with the french, stupid cheese eating surrender monkeys.
They aren’t referred to as “cheese-eating”, they are frog-eaters, and we don’t have to deal with them, ’cause over here most countries stick to their own affairs (unfortunately Norway helps America in Afghanistan, but we got an election in a month, so let’s hope we can change that).
What about the original 150 Pokemon?
My sixteen-year-old boyfriend still knows the rap.
Yeah, or the lyrics to the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme song?
I know the first 50, but the rest escape me. I know someone, though, that knows ALL of them in order. He must have a lot of free time on his hands…
State capitals?
A, B, C, D, E, F etc.
shouldn’t be to hard.
Also, I’m from Europe and I can name more than 9 US presidents. As for countries… well, all of the countries in the Animaniacs song :p
Line graphs are for continuous independent variables. You should have used a bar chart.
A line graph‽
MY EYES! MY EYES!
Also, am I the only one thinking….
United States, Canada, Mexico, Panama
Haiti, Jamaica, Peru…?
Cmon… you can only name like 18 countries? That’s a bit pathetic, isn’t it? You’re probably waging war in more countries than that.
on* more countries.
either way
BAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA! love that humour
Sad things we don’t have to display in graph form. Fail.
Yeaaaaaaah, I’m gonna need you to come in on saturday, if you could do that, it would be greeeeaaaat.
Office Space has been verbalized.
“The server has been acting up, we may need to go Office Space it.”
Yes it has. I have talked about going Office Space on the printer all the time when it jams.
Wow, that’s just sad. Learn your amendments and your rights. You oughta know the constitution backwards and forwards. This is just one more reason people think Americans are stupid.
I know, right? You never know when, say, the 11th Amendment will come in handy.
I’ll take “What was the first amendment not included in the Bill Of Rights” for $200.
Anyway, I can name the 1st, 2nd, 5th, 14th, 18th, 21st and 25th. Most of which I learned about through The West Wing (I’m from the UK), except the 5th which I learned about through Red Dwarf.
And since I have no intention of ever visiting the US, I can’t imagine why I would need to know any more than that. Or even when I would need to know those…..
I’m sorry, but you NAME lines from films? What do you name them? Fred? George? Betty? Lucinda Doyle? Satan?
Simple Pedantry – WIN!!!
(“Help!! Help!! The Pedants are revolting”, “No!! Actually we’re taking over in a Military Coup. Please get it right”)
Due to my parents liking Tom Lehrer, I am pretty sure I can name the vast majority, if not all, of the elements….
You know more state capitals than other countries?
Everyone’s ripping on the fact you know more this than that. Well, I have to point out a line graph is for change over time. Use a bar.
i can easily name all 50 state capitals and name 99% of all the countries, well sort of because I have a career in cartography…
Now that’s just cheating
This should be a bar graph. “type of thing” is not a scale.
Fail.
That printer-destroying scene was referenced on Family Guy last night, and now I get it. Hoorah!
George Washington was the first, you see he once chopped down a cherry tree
President #2 would be John Adams
and then #3…
Tom Jefferson stayed up to write
the constitution late at night
so he and his wife had a great big fight
and she made him sleep on the couch all night
Yeah… the only reason I know all of our presidents is because of the Animaniacs song… It’s also how I know when all the American involved wars happened.
…
James Monroe’s colossal nose was bigger than Pinocchio’s
Actually technically this is incorrect. George Washington was First President of the free United States, there were presidents going back to the beginning of the Revolution called “Presidents of the American Congress Assembled” – Amazing what you can pick up from QI.
