Well there was some report a couple of years back that when asked to draw Australia on a map of the world the majority of American school children drew it near Europe.
Actually you would be surprised at the number of Amercians who think we keep kangaroos as pets and that the hop down the main street on a daily basis. It seems to be one of the most commonly asked questions...
Oh yes and I used to have an Amercian girlfriend who asked me if we celebrated Christmas at the same time of the year as the US.
