SiMoNsAyS Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 "Fool's World Map" projectOne day, a Texan asked me a question when I lived in U.S..The question was "How many hours does it take to go to Japan by car?". (true story)He didn't know where Japan is, and even bofore that, he didn't know that Japan is an island.And then, I thought. "What kind of world map is pictured in his mind?"This was a beginning to think that it might be fun to gather those mixed up recognitions of countries and visualize it as a world map imagined by the fools in the world.First, the countries are roughly allocated. From now on, countries will be added based on participants' comments.The upper part of Brazil became Spain.edit: i've just read in that page some comments that usa people won't like, please don't take it like something personal it's just it looks funny that someone can think "you can travel from usa to japan by car" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zprog Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Well, I'd figure that Antarctica is not a small island, but somewhere up north, like in Greenland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phyridean Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 LMAO! I know some people who'd believe you could drive to japan from here. We have our good and our bad in terms of intelligence....but the intelligent community here is losing ground....I'm surprised that Low-Carb hasn't become an ethnic food group here, like Italian or Mexican....

sevenalive Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 (edited) You guys all need to go back to school! This is either a joke or the OP is the one in the wrong. He was talking about Japan, Texas, not japan the country. I am surprised that nobody else got that. Edit: **** didn't mean to resurrect an old thread. It was in similar topics and i didn't check the date. Edited May 18, 2008 by Seven Alive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
