> I am a monster of the corporate world. Within twenty seconds I can tell you the capitol of Madagascar.

That line struck me as oddly brilliant. It wouldn't take 20 seconds if you knew it off the top of your head, so it means that you can have someone drop everything and give you that information.

I think that maybe you missed it -- it means that he can find it on his Management Globe within 20 seconds.

I'm pretty sure the use of capitol was a mis-spelling in the original article.

I think this is a mistake in the original text. It's an easy confusion to make.
