    instead we studied useful things

    Have you ever seen any British television quiz game shows? The amount of world geography and history most contestants seem to know is abismal, makes me scratch my head and seriously wonder what many of these people are doing there, in a game show about knowledge. What are they even doing there, in the delusion that they have a shot.

    “What is the capital of Denmark?”
    “Erm… pass.”

    This person’s comment is just another drop in the bucket in the sorry state of things.
