"Americans Kind of Stupid", States BBC News Article

Warning: This article will probably make your brain melt out of your ears

But seriously, I can't tell you how saddened I was to read this article. It's the devolution of the intellect of the American people and one of these days we're going to pay for it. If you all want cures to diabetes, cancer, MS, MD, Parkinsons and about a million other life-threatning diseases, you're going to have to start putting some faith in science. I would start ranting about the lack of funding in labs all over the U.S., and how that $27m used to make the atrocity called "The Creation Museum" could be put to real use, but that would be boring for you and time consuming for me.

So, on to the snarkiness.

I am so glad that someone has finally put to rest all the nasty rumors about "The Flinstones". If there's anything I've learned from T.V. it's that humans and dinosaurs lived together in harmony. And people used pterodactyls as airplanes and large prehistoric birds as alarm clocks and bowling was the most popular sport and everyone did a super cool dance called "The Bedrock Twitch". I'm not gonna let any smart-alecky scientist tell me otherwise, so there.

interesting fact: 40% of americans believe the earth was created in seven days. I mean, that's pretty cool. That could be our new slogan! "The United States: Tell us that dogs are actually space aliens sent here to take over the world, and 40% of the population will probably believe you."
