Smartest State Awards!

Some of you wonder how Arnie can be elected...
well this chart: http://www.statestats.com/edrank03.htm
should explain it all!If it doesn't, I bet Clarissa will explains it all. And as you can see by the chart Massachusetts is number 1! In your face!!!

Michigan is #20. Not bad, considering we have so much rural area.

Started off in #8, now I'm living in #7. Go me!

I'm guessing the person who made the Rank Order chart is either from Connecticut or New Mexico since only the smartest man alive or the dumbest would have any reason to start counting from seven.

then again, perhaps that column was listing last year's rankings. where are you from again?

Vin Diesel for governor of New Mexico!!

Florida's #40. That's higher than I would have guessed, actually.

My home state, Maryland, is #18.

And I know this is a list of states, but usually D.C. is included in there somewhere. I'm curious about my old neighbors...

Double post. Oops.

I started in 26, then moved to 48 -/

I can't believe we got ranked 37 out of 40...

woo hoo!

Let's just say Canada. That way we all win in the end.

New Jersey is #5!!! Oh yay.

It makes sense though. You can't walk 3 feet in this state without tripping over a college. They're everywhere.

I moved from WA to OR last year. WA got two points smarter while OR dropped 9 points!

what have I done?!

I live in Missouri, one of te most conservative states in the Union. I'd've thought our rank would be a bit lower.

On the plus side, I can type 30 WPM with one hand!

And only one spelling mistake! Which will be left there for posterity.

Fuck, two spelling mistakes.

Maybe a little editing is in order.

How healthy is your state?

#49.

Somehow, I'm not at all surprised.

My state is #43 in the ranks for health. That doesn't surprise me too much. Most of the chicks on my campus weigh 85 pounds and are tan to the point of borderline skin cancer.
