this would be fun if there was no internet.. every time i see something like this.. some asshole googles the answers so he can pretend to be more intelligent than he (or she) actually is..

[Akiahara96]

Just because I don't know these answers doesn't make me stupid or uneducated. It just makes me uninformed and perhaps I don't care much about geography.

I love these threads that almost seem to post, "I'm smarter than you because I know such and such random info. Here's proof. Try to answer this." The closest I can get to some of these is just knowing ithe answer is on the tip of my fongue.

oh cummon, just let him have this if it makes him feel smart

Upon doing some reading I'm wondering if he's meaning the first question to be a trick question or what he might include in North and Central America. Also, do gulfs count as large bodies of water? I mean, I know they do... but per his questions do they or does he just want lakes and such?

[Chris.]

the only countries in north america is USA and canada.....its not hard....

the bodies of water is easy too...anyone with any american history or any geography history should know this one. 5 large bodies of water in the US...uh...Lake Erie, Lake Michigan, Lake Ontario, Lake Huron, and Lake Superior...now comon..who needs google for that?
