  1. OK, I took the test again, keeping a notepad window open to keep track on the ones I knew where they were, but could not spell the name right. I got a 95, plus 26 additional that I misspelled.

    The 2 changes I would make would be 1) a slightly bigger/better resolution map.
    2) shade in the countries so it would be obvious that I skipped Brazil.

  2. Was just going to mention the same disorder, IJ. I never knew the reason the parents did it before. Very interesting. I learned about M by proxy from this doctor show I used to watch in the middle of the night when I was ten. It freaked me out.

  3. There’s also Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy, where they injure their own child and bring them to the doctor in order to be viewed as a loving, caring, dedicated parent.

  4. Münchausen syndrome is a term for psychiatric disorders known as factitious disorders wherein those affected feign disease, illness, or psychological trauma in order to draw attention or sympathy to themselves.

    I know this from House and Law and Order.

  5. jackal, I love geography, and I know it well, but I can’t play until I get home – opened it at my desk, but I’m working back on the trading floor every Thursday (diagonally across from my old boss) and I have no good reason to have a world map open on one of my screens sadly.
