Germans smartest Europeans

Who would have thought that? Not me. And that’s even how one of the German articles about this rapidly developing story begins. With that first sentence, I mean. Never mind.

A professor from the University of Ulster figured all of this out yesterday. It was unclear as to whether or not said professor is of German descent, however, so let’s take all of this with a grain of salt.

Anyway, he thinks that it’s the cold temperatures up here in Northern and Middle Europe that make the native brain swell up so much like it does. Apparently they had to hunt more in the past and eat more meat in the winter and meat makes you smart or something. Or so the theory goes.

I don’t know if I can buy that, though. Maybe they were just lousier shots and had to hunt more because of that or were real gluttons or just watched less TV than the other Stone Aged peoples did. I think I’m going to have to write this guy.

But before I do, here are some of the results (in average IQ): Germany 107, Poland 106, Sweden 104 and Britain 100.

The French got one of the lowest rankings by the way (94), but won hands down in the special category of Smartest Ass European. Just kidding. I am told that the Americans will be evaluated next year. If they can ever figure out how to take the damned test, that is.

I haven't the slightest idea what any of this is acually supposed to mean. But then again, I'm one of the ones who hasn't had his IQ checked yet, so perhaps that's part of the explanation.

Ich bin doch nicht blöd!
