greasywheels121 Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 http://www.menshealth.com/cda/article/0,28...-5-2172,00.html Well, hey, dont blame my stupidity on me. Blame it on the people I had to live with. My hometown is the dumbest city in America, acording to Men's Health. And yes, Men's Health has so much credibility. Unless you're trying to run an Internet scam, life is easier when you can avoid dummies. Which means the residents of Fort Wayne, Indiana, face a challenge: That's the town that ranks last in our measures of intelligence. (Dan Quayle grew up just outside Fort Wayne. Coincidence?) Indiana's second-largest city can't be completely lacking in smarts, though--the NBA started there. We based our rankings on the number of bachelor's degrees per capita, the number of universities, inhabitants' SAT scores, state creativity scores as assessed by Catalytix and the Richard Florida Creativity Group, and the number of Nobel Prize winners for physics and medicine born within the towns' borders. When our crew of brains finished crunching the numbers, Minneapolis came out as the nation's valedictorian. Boston and Denver also sit at the head of the class (continued below...) Your City's Grade 1. Minneapolis, MN A+ 2. Boston, MA A+ 3. Denver, CO A+ 4. St. Paul, MN A+ 5. Seattle, WA A+ 6. San Francisco, CA A+ 7. Madison, WI A 8. San Diego, CA A 9. Colorado Springs, CO A- 10. Portland, OR A- 101. Fort Wayne, IN F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They made a slight side-note in regards to the fact that Chicago may simply have more men to admit it or to seek help...partially due to those certain ads by Da Coach.
