We ain't as dumb as y'all think.

[trof]

Alaska, California, Mississippi, Nevada and Arizona is dummber than us.
Louisiana is almost as dumb as us. Just smarter by a haffa point.
We're dumberer than we was last year though.
We was number 43 then.
'Course we had a lot of Loisianians come over after Katrina.
That mighta done it.

Yessir, we ain't as dumb as y'all think, an I can prove it.

Y'all Vermontiners and Massachutans is way smart though.
And all of y'all a buncha yankys at that.

1. Texasans is about half-smart since dumbya left.

[Gormy Cuss]

2. A big bunch of smaht Yankees at that.

Four out of the top five are New England states, and the other one would be a Yankee to y'all in Alabama.

[ForrestGump]

3. But those Yankee states still don't quite match up with

the dumbest kid in Singapore. :D

Or Luxembourg.

:P

[Gormy Cuss]

7. I blame Canada.

:P

[CottonBear]

4. Ruh Roh. Georgia is ranked 41st.

:(

[RubyDuby in GA]

13. That high?

I'm pretty shocked.

[CottonBear]

18. LOL! At least I live in an area with lots of well-educated academics!

However, Athens and our other blue cities can not bring up our ranking because of the conservative nitwits living in the rest of the state.
:eyes:
How are you, the hubby and little baby Carter Dean doing? Is he walking yet? :hi:

[RubyDuby in GA]

25. We're doing just fine

He's almost walking. He's trying to pull himself up to everything! And he has a walker that we put him in. We call him Speed Racer - he literally runs in it.

There's a new website you might want to check out. It's still getting the bugs worked out, but it's local.

How are things in Athens? What do you think about Jane Kidd being our new state party Chair?

[CottonBear]

28. I think Jane will be a great party chair! Gooooo Speed Racer! LOL!

We lost our congressman (CHarlie Norwood) last week nty commissioner, States McCarter, up and quit with no explantion on Feb. 7. He said he did not quit for health reasons. :shrug: Go figure. He quit just in time (31 business days prior to the election) for someone to qualify to run for special election on March 20. A guy I know is running for the vacnt seat. He's a Democrat, a current Planning Commissioner and a UGA geography professor, originally from England. Ones of McCarter's neighbors is going to run as well. We still don't know why he quit.

BTW, Mike Luckovich will speak at UGA on Feb. 27 and it's FREE and open to the public! He will speak at the annual Jack Davis Visitng Artist Lecture @ 5:30 PM, room 101 of the Student Learning Center.
:hi:
:hug: for Carter

5. Eh. We may be slightly smarter, but y'all are better cooks.

I'm at the point in my life where I value food WAY more than brains!

:hi: trof

Edited to add: Pennsylvania! We're Number 10! :woohoo:

[trof]

9. Yeah...and it's warmer down here. 70 now.

Only things they got up there are lobster rolls, clam chowder, and baked beans.
Ya get tired of that.
;-)

[mainegreen]

6. I'm just pleased to see New Hampster far below Maine.

New Jersey being above us is a bit disturbing though.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

11. O shit...Didn't see that NJ was above us.

:scared:

[Reverend_Smitty]

8. We're number 4!

So suck it New York! :P

[WritingIsMyReligion]

10. Woo! Number 5!

:woohoo:

[azmouse]

12. meh... so AZ is 50th in the smartest list...

But we're #1 on the dumbest list!!! :party:




:banghead:
It MUST be McCain dragging this state down...

[bridgit]

14. them's fight'n woids...

i think :dunce:

[LaraMN]

15. Mn is #6, but we've gone down 7?

Okay, I'm the dumb one in the state, then, because I don't get how that works.

[hfojvt]

21. Minnesota was #6

but fell to #13 when people started reading tables backwards :P

[LaraMN]

22. Oh criminies.

I think I'm responsible for the drop.:rofl:

[TheMightyFavog]

16. Hey, we;re in the top ten!

Go, Wisconsin!

[Connonym]

19. Woot! Not that I'm surprise :-D

[TheMightyFavog]

20. If it weren't for Madison and the other college towns, I fear we'd be right around Alabama.

End of Line.

[jobycom]

17. Wonderful. I was born in Louisiana, grew up in Mississippi, and live in Texas.

I should leave this board. I'm dragging the average way down. :yoiks:

[hfojvt]

23. South Dakota is #17

:woohoo: and the much-maligned Kansas is #15, but dropping two steps for every year their science standards are in place.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

24. MI is pretty far down the list

after slipping 12 positions in a year. That's a whole heap of "fast dumb".

It's not so bad that MI is ranked bad. It just hurts being ranked "dumber than OH". Like I should respect them geniuses in Columbus. Bah!

[Critters2]

26. Three of the four states in which I've lived are in the top ten.

The place where I live now--where people deal with nuisance squirrels by pouring boiling water on 'em while they're trapped--is 35. I think that's high, myself.

[PVnRT]

27. Ha! We beat all our neighbors
