Oh no! We really are!

Laughed a little bit today at this John Nova Lomax post in the Houston Press Hair Balls blog regarding Houston's comparative ranking to, well everyone else when it comes to intelligence. Needless to say, the results weren't pretty. Think: Trailing Nashville not pretty...

OK, harmless diversion right?

Then there was this comment which kind of put the entire thing into perspective:

local says:

I guess controlling objects in space does not take much brains. Why don't we ship NASA to Nashville, let's see how well that will go.

Indeed lets....

Considering much of the engineering and flight control personnel for NASA are imported, one could assume that they could also be exported to Nashville and the touchy job of directing objects in space would cruise along without so much as a hiccup.

It's a hard slap in the face when reality comes up and bitch-slaps your argument against a stereotype is it not?
