"Mr. Geography" Cabbie Gives Free Rides for Correct Answers

Thursday December 7, 2006
Taxi driver Mohammad Saaed Collins from Toronto, Canada, claims to know a heck of a lot about geography. In fact, he will give a free cab ride to anyone who can answer one of his questions right. Canada.com interviewed Collins and you have to read it! I love this quote, "We're standing on geography. People are born on geography. Moving from place to place is geography. If you study it deeply, you'll find all major conflicts stem from geography. Hitler taking neighbouring countries is geography. Now, America went to Iraq -- it's about geography." I wonder if he knows more than me?

Hey Matt, Sounds like you’re challenging Mr Geography. I’d like to see a Matt versus Mr Geography Smackdown! At the very least, you should be able to ask him harder questions than the ones in this article!

We Americans going to Iraq had more than just geography involved.
