'Great States', a Smartphone & Lincoln

'Great States Junior' has been a favorite game of Kyan's for a couple of years now.  He pretty much knows the game by heart and when we play he answers/finds our questions before we can;)  Last week, he and I were playing it, and it asked a question about the Space Needle.  Having my phone sitting beside me and not wanting to interrupt our game too much by going and getting on the computer to look it up, I looked it up on my smartphone.  We read about where it was located, how tall it was and how much it weighed among other things.  After that whenever we had a question that involved a states landmark we would look it up on my phone. 

Towards the end of the game, Damek happened upon us playing and wanted to play his game of 'Great States' when we were finished.  While playing 'Great States', we listened to the song 'Graceland' by Simon and Garfunkel (one of the questions was "where is Graceland located?", and immediately that song popped into my head), and looked up information on Mount Rushmore.  When I finished reading the description for Mount Rushmore, Kyan ran into the bedroom, got a $5 bill out of his wallet (which he had received that night from the tooth fairy) pointed to the picture and said "it's Lincoln!".
