    23 countries in North America? are they counting central america as north or south? last I checked North America had 3 if you count greenland as part of north america. USA, Canada, and greenland. Now if you add central america.

    nm I jsut looked it up. they do count Central america as part of north america. I learn something new everyday. I always thought America was cut up into. North, central and south.
