Can You Draw U.S. Map from Memory?

OK. I admit it. I have a man crush on Al Franken. Do you think Norm Coleman can do this?

    I bet Bill Cosby could do it. I think I could draw the US as a whole, but not state by state like that. Excellent, even if he did leave out the Chesapeake.

    Abbot, I didn't get the Bill Cosby reference. I found this on YouTube. Somehow I've never heard of the Picture Page until today.

    I just love this video, but I want to see the longer, drawn-out version (ha!) to know what he's saying at different points. The whole thing amazes me.

    (I happen to be an AF fan, also!)

    Morninglight, if you want to hear the audio, click here. Below the video is an hour long interview. You can move the slider half way through to 30:00 to hear the start. He finishes the map around 42:00, and they talk about the map until 44:00. While he is drawing the map, he is answering questions on education and the economy.

    I wonder how many bar bets he's won this way. :)

    L.A., You must have listened to the interview on Meeeennnnneeee-so-daa Public Radio, no? Here's my wife's favorite Al Franken video - featuring Mrs. Molin, who was also present during the MPR interview at the State Fair.
