I used to know the new ones too, because I was concerned in some geological
works with my girlfriend. But no more... (I surely don't know the capitals of
the states of the USA) They are too much to remember, when I have to know the
whole german literature :) But I think I still remember 70-80% of them.

P.S.: If I'll create a conculture, I'll create as many countrys and capitals as
possible. And believe me I will remember them!! :)))))
