A Small Addiction...

No I didn't drink this weekend, but I'm sure that's what you thought by the title. Asses.

What I'm talking about is Facebook, and yes Facebook in itself is addicting enough but everyone at work has been talking about the Travel IQ application, which I hadn't paid any attention to because I suck at geography. But the craze was taking off so I figured I would pry myself away from Facebook poker and check it out.

Travel IQ is crazy! You get a picture of the world map and as random places and cities come up you have to find the place on the map. You can only progress to the next level if you score a certain number of points, and I don't mean to put anybody down but ALL my past geography teachers must have been awful teachers cause I don't know a thing... I couldn't even find Seoul the first time! You can choose specific areas if you don't want to deal with the whole world. I figured I would have an edge on the map of Canada but apparently I must live in a bubble inside of Ontario cause I don't know squat about the rest of the country.

So what I'm trying to say, if you want a really fun, addicting, learning game you should definetly check it out, and don't worry you won't come in last place cause I've got that spot in the bag.
