I've spent more than half the workday on this site today...

It's a bunch of memory-based games.

Some things I've learned today...

1. I can name every professional sports team.
2. I can name every #1 overall NBA pick dating back to the 1970s...but I don't know a damn thing about the countries of Eastern Europe. I'm solid onSouth America and Africa, though.
3. I nailed 42/43 U.S. Presidents...screw you, Van Buren.
4. If you can't name all 50 U.S. States...there's something wrong there.
5. I could only come up with about 10 Pokemon characters before I gave up...I think that's a good thing.
