In fairness, I would suggest it's fairly common knowledge that your
heart is located in your ribcage, but *precisely* where? I wouldn't
know. And exactly how lage? Nope, not really sure.
Most doctors, presumably, would know this though. :-P

It's also common knowledge that Switzerland is in western Europe somewhere.
Exactly where? I wouldn't know. Precisely how large? Not really sure.
Same thing, really. :-)
In my defense, anything more than 1000 miles away is all in the same place,
namely, the airport. ;-)

Now I'm wondering what the hell the difference between "visible man" and
"visible woman" is... o_O

I would imagine there would be significant difference in the
reproductive tract.

Have you seen the size of the models? Would such a difference actually
be noticable? :-P

Another thing in defence of Americans: Europeans have just as much
trouble locating US states and Canadian provinces. If there is news of,
say, a school shooting many Europeans will not know much better than
that something happened in the US. About as informative as knowing that
Vaduz is in Europe.
It would only get a little embarrassing if a European head of state
would suggest that e.g. Atlanta is the capital of San Francisco. That
sort of magnitude of confusion is more typical USA.

Well, there's lots of differences all over between men and women. Not really
in the models, tho. It's not like they have the adam's apple or the brow
ridge molded in, at least not big enough to be obvious.
