Ed_Blue sent me this site and it's really pretty neat...test your knowledge of the location of the states. I didn't know how to put a link here, but it can be copy pasted into your address bar.
Can anyone get 100% right? I'm not going to tell you my score...way too embarrassed LOL
A state will appear above map of our country. Put the cursor on it and hold down the button and drag it into the area where it belongs. And then another state will appear, place it correctly, etc..

This sounds kind of scary ;( What if we put it in the wrong place, that might hurt someone's feelings, they will think we don't care about them and their state :S :'(
How embarrassing

I only got 16 right (I even missed my own state).
Instead of typing in that whole address you can just put in the first part: www.shepardsoftware.com.
Once there you will easily find the map state test as well as many other humbling tests.

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
