3 Minutes and 27 Seconds. Not too shabby for someone doped up on pain medication!

Took me half a dozen tries, but I finally managed it in 5 minutes, 20 seconds. Can you tell I'm Canadian? :-)

I was able to name all the Canadian provinces in 1:15. ;P It would've been under 45 seconds if I hadn't forgotten New Brunswick (which I guess is like the Canadian New Jersey, since I, like so many others here, came up with NJ last on the U.S. quiz).

Ooo... do they have one for the Canadian Provinces? I'd run into serious problems trying to remember how to spell Ninavut (Nunavit? Nunavut?).

[desoto-hia873.livejournal.com]

Nunavut. I didn't see the Canadian one either. I tried the Asia one, but there were a dozen countries I'd never even heard of!

No, there wasn't a Canadian one. I just wrote them all down and then checked my answers on wikipedia. I like to show off my knowledge of Canada because our friends up north often say that we don't know anything about their country. When we're hanging out I start singing the Canadian national anthem, which really freaks them out.

Hee! I know the Canadian national anthem, but for a slightly odd reason. When I was in High School, we got a satellite dish (this was back in the days of the big ugly dishes, but we lived out in the country and it was the only way to get decent television reception) and one of the channels we were able to pick up was a feed for CBC... and they started their "day" every morning around 5:00, when I was getting ready for school.

So, I'd get up and set the dish for the CBC just in time to catch the national anthem... and then a rerun of the Muppet Show!

I should try quizzing myself on the provinces, although I'm betting I'd end up forgetting a really obvious one.

Well, to be fair, there are only eleven provinces, not 50!

I got New Jersey the first time, actually. Nebraska was the one that kept tripping me up.

I know -- that's why it was a funny joke! Or maybe not.

Ah, don't mind me. Apparently I was feeling literal-minded yesterday. ::fails at humour::
