Holy shit. I had no idea it was that big.

I also thought about Fordham, because I listen to their radio station and it's always referred to as a Jesuit university, but again I didn't know how big they were. Playing it safe paid off on that one.

Missed an op at IN Wesleyan. Located 45 minutes north of me. And my cousin goes there. No idea it was that big.

Word. I thought Brahma would be big, as they had ad signs visible during the World Cup. I have a friend who moved to Brazil and worked for Brahma, so it may have just stood out to me.

I hate this stupid game. Send in the subs.

I liked it more before I learned that Indonesia, which I knew to be the country with the world's largest copper mine, was not in the top 10 copper producing countries. One of my lessons in this game is to beware the quick snappy answer on a topic you think you know well. But I keep having to re-learn it.
