Well you'll be happy to know that a high score is not a visa requirement.:p

So, what three? C'mon, you can tell me...:)

No visa required here anymore........which makes it even worse!

I can admit to Pizza and drive-throughs, but taking the 5th amendment on the last one:o

getting back on topic, did you see her considered reply after thinking about it.....

"I would love to re-answer that question," Upton said. "Well personally, my friends and I, we know exactly where the United States is on our map. I don't know anyone else who doesn't. And if the statistics are correct, I believe there should be more emphasis on geography."

"on our map"??

I bet her map looks like this:

http://www.etsu.edu/scitech/entc/images/us-map.gif

Go on, lay a pin on that; there's a 33% chance she'd get it correct.
