When I was young growing up in America I watched the news with my parents a lot. One day I hered the reporter saing the they are having problems "overseas" and thought that there must have been a new 51st state called "overseas". A week after that I got a US map and counted fifty, i was extremely upset that the map makers riped me off and told my parents... yea. Now i can name every contry in the world and most of there capitals :)
