Though I bet that the shirt was designed in America… I downloaded a copy of the image to use for future geography classes. And yes, he will lose his shirt unless someone thinks it is a great collectable idea. David J.

And we wonder why so many American kids are geographically illiterate! http://www.cafepress.com/mf/66379000/indiana_tshirt?productId=631335804 On a related note, my cousin, a recent M.B.A. from Wharton, had a job interview at Warren Buffett's headquarters in Omaha. He tried to butter up the interviewer by stating how thrilled he was to be in Oklahoma, and hasn't heard back. Howard Stone Map Cataloger, Brown University
