Geography Article of the Day 11/29/2011

Survey Says the best place to Live... 

This article illustrates the results of a survey conducted worldwide to find the best metropolitian areas to live.  Comparing space and defining what makes an urban area great are all apart of geography. Did your city make the list?  I know nothing near me did!

Another Geography Flub...

Came across this tv still on Twitter, posted by @TheTruthLibya of an map error on CNN!  This particular error labels Tripoli in what seems to be Lebanon when in fact Tripoli is on a whole other continent.  Tripoli is in the country of  Libya, along the Northern shore of the African Continent.  I still cannot believe that in this day an age major news outlets still make mistakse like these!

Now the nations of the world...

Another clip from the cartoon Animaniacs that share some geographic knowledge, although some areas might be out of date now!
