NASCAR Fans are 10% smarter than the average person. So much for the "stupid redneck" stereotype, eh?

From Paul Harvey's Daily New Broadcast:
mms://abcrad.wmod.llnwd.net/a49/external/0102cABAAHQAAAAcDle6yKhvE1c0LnEJnNwFajD8QD92LOnSD/harvey/am/harveyam12202004.wma
The clip should be three minutes into the broadcast.

The American institute for intellegence testing has surprised itself. Discovered that NASCAR Fans, given IQ test, scored 10% higher than most. The concentration required to watch, apparantly, forms new synapses in the brain.

In my opinion Rednecks are human beings too with feelings. Noone is better than the other and noone is a know it all.

Of course rednecks are intelligent. My father's the king of them. He might be a little...odd...but you NEVER want to deal with law or business with my father. You'll lose every time.

*intelligence
*apparently

Just had to correct it. And that's pretty cool. Maybe I should start watching NASCAR, then. Or not.
