Poll question: State Capital You Always Get Wrong
No matter how smart you are, there's always at least one that you can't remember. It's probably one of these (the other 40 are easy).

3. Frankfort
I know it's not Louisville, so for some reason I always think it's Lexington.

4. When I took the state capitals test in the 8th grade, I only missed one
and it was Dover, Delaware. Not that I forgot that Dover was the capital of Delaware, I just forgot that Delaware existed. I kept singing that "50 Nifty" song over and over in my head, trying to figure out which state I had left out, and even then I couldn't remember. :shrug:

5. Forgot that Delaware existed!!!
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I guess that means you hadn't taken too many car trips up and down the East Coast. Those tolls will make you remember that Delaware exists in a hurry! :P

6. Worst Toll Ever
They charge you something like $2.50 for about 10 miles of road. What a rip-off. You figure they have to have paid for that 10 miles worth of tar by now and are just getting greedy.
