Well, we ain't dumb, but we sure ain't smart

While I'm in the mood to draw connections and comparisons between Ohio and the heard-of-only-in-science-fiction-and-fantasy west coast--EC's RotR once again points us toward some interesting news.

Seems Ohio is the 20th smartest state in the union. We're right under North Dakota. Of all places. Massachusetts comes in number one and California comes in 43rd and New Mexico is dead last. Fan favorite Oregon makes a poor showing at 35 while upstarts Texas and West Virginia tie at 33.

Can't say I have any idea why Ohio placed where it did. Did NEO arch-enemy SWO bring the whole team down? Was the poll conducted at an Ohio State frat party or only at a CWRU frat party? Did the pollsters watch the movie Gummo, vomit a little, then slap down a random number?
