OK, who's the geek who thought memorizing all of those would get him extra credit in 10th grade, and then grew up to make an online mashup of the information that nobody cared about then, and nobody cares about now? In this day and age, we can look up any trivia we want at a moment's notice on the Internet. Knowing trivial bullsh*t no longer has any value whatsoever.

I use Sporcle. http://www.sporcle.com/games/g/uscapitals It's pretty much the best learning tool for stuff like this.
