like 200 kids if I remember correctly came from it

Frankly I pay little attention to such studies. I can use statistics too and it's too easy to come to a false conclusion.

PHd's? Hey I've worked with lots of those and a good number of them were the dumbest people I ever met.

I liked your story about the pots and the paved road though -g-

/edit. The actual dumbest person I ever met was in Maine USA. I was shooting at a rifle range near Kennebunkport Maine.

He was showing his kids how to shoot guns of all calibres. He started watching me zeroing my sights to shoot a target 200 yrds away. He thought my activity odd and asked what in the hell was I doing? I told him I was adjusting the sites to shoot straight. "Well I'll be darned" he said. He lived all his life shooting guns and never figured why some of them kept missing. I introduced him to the wonderful world of adjusting rifle sights so they could shoot straight. His kids picked up on it straight away anyway.
