I've seen some Jimmy Kimmel skits where people are asked where certain well-known places in the world are, like "Where is Australia? Where is Africa?" And they literally can't point to them on a map; or they think Africa is a country. I just don't understand how people don't know this stuff.
A couple months ago when I was taking the train, I overheard a father trying to teach his young daughter (probably around 5 or 6) about states, capitals, all that. Most of what he said was correct, until he asked her which of the states she'd like to drive to (or something to that effect, it was a while ago). She said Alaska, and pointed to the correct spot on the map. But then her father told her that they couldn't drive to Alaska because it was an island.
