Geography is hard. They don’t teach it much in schools these days and there’s just so much stuff to learn. There’s GPS and Google Maps and online things that make it easy, so it’s no surprise when people don’t know where they’re going. That doesn’t mean it’s an excuse, however.

Overheard of the Week

Two 20-something tourist girls on the Orange line:

Girl #1: “Salt Lake City, isn’t that in Washington?”
Girl #2: Laughing, “No, not Washington, it’s in Colorado right?”
Two people in different seats, in unison: “No, it’s in Utah!!!”
Guy: “Man, is this the smart people train?”

After the jump, all up in your Myspace, old school rappers, the dangerous White House, and beer with a straw.
