Remember the show, Big Bang Theory? Of course you do. Best\u2014television show\u2014ever. Do you remember when Sheldon Cooper and his girlfriend Amy Farrah Fowler produced their Web TV show, "Fun with Flags? \u201cI\u2019m Dr. Sheldon Cooper, and this is Fun with Flags.\u201d\n\nWell, in keeping with that, I have a similarly geeky fascination with geography. So, I\u2019m Dr. Steven Shepard, and this is Fun with Geography.\n\nI am constantly running across fascinating little factoids about the world. Most of \u2018em fall into the \u2018really interesting but not sure how it\u2019s useful\u2019 category, other than the priceless value of information and knowledge. When I worked at Hill Associates, we used to talk about quodlibetic information\u2014information that is really interesting, but that has no earthly use. So, this episode is your periodic dose of quodlibetic information.
