I sometimes get mad that the Chive is so popular now. I was an OG Chiver.

lots to laugh about on these. i enjoyed "North Utah", "Utah" and "South Utah", and i also liked "Further South Dakota". On the European side, "Good Gymnasts" made me laugh.

I'm surprised that it seems the US folks got Europe fairly correct, except for the Baltic / USSR / Czech region.

The Europeans didn't have as much luck...but in all fairness, this was states vs. countries.

Chive is like an online frat, in some of the worst ways possible.

We go to great lengths to exploit women, and we all make some of our bad habits more acceptable by associating with each other, but hey - we did raise a small amount of money for a charity once! BFM!

Yeah, there's that.

Id wear a t shirt, but I would never say the words "Chive On" out loud.

Also, I believe 98% of the RAK's posted on their are fake. (i.e. adding a digit to a tip and acting like someone got tipped 200 instead of 20)

That is pretty funny. I never looked at it like that before. Without studying a map of Europe for
10 minutes I would only get about half of them correct, especially the eastern European and Russian
breakaway countries.

Canada= Big Scotland with polar bears

too many women answered this which, of course, makes the answers unfunny

I do, too. You should try http://www.sporcle.com/. They've got a lot of Geography quizzes, amongst other topics.

I usually ace them, only having issues w/ Oceania & the Caribbean.
