Although the numerical "average" IQ is 100, the majority of the population of the world (and America if you want the added hurt, us bunch of idiots) is beneath that.
Statistically, the importance of religion and average IQ of a given country are inversely proportional. Additionally, less than .25% of the population will ever have an IQ exceeding 145.

That is pretty evil of you to laugh at the victims' expense (DOUBLE PUN FTW!).
Quote:
Einstein included a "cosmological constant" in his original theory of relativity denoted by the Greek lambda, which is supposedly debunked after the discovery of redshift, an occurrence where a light-emitting source is moving away from the viewer from its point of origin. It follows the logic of this : Let v be the viewer and x be the light emitting source, and ===== be the entire wavelength of the lightwave. The model originally looks like this : v ======== x As x moves away from v, the length of ======== stretches as light still travels towards the viewer, but it has an increasing distance to cover as it moves away. v = = = = = = = = x ---> So what happens when the wavelength increases? It falls into the "long wavelength" region of the electromagnetic spectrum, towards the red side in the visible light area! Conversely, if the reverse is to happen where x moves towards v, the wavelength is compressed : v ==== x <--- The wavelength decreases, resulting in a blueshift. IMO, the redshift discovered doesn't actually prove much of an expanding universe unless we can find its edge since it relies on a single microwave emitting area moving away from the viewer (Hubble). But how do we know where is the edge? The idea of the universe expanding would mean that we are chasing a moving object and can't simply rely on lightspeed for measurements.

Another fun fact I only just discovered (forgive me, I'm real slow at times... )
Not one of Lynyrd Skynyrd's famous band members hailed from Alabama. Their song "Sweet Home Alabama" was actually a response to Neil Young's two songs, "Southern Man" and "Alabama". Also, of course, the band is famously known for naming themselves in a mock tribute to a PE teacher, but did you know they were originally called "The Noble Five"? Music is complicated sometimes...

I definitely don't make that average either. But an average suggests there are those that can do it uicker than 7 minutes (sleep, that is ). Wonder how fast they can get a kip then, the mere thought is... keeping me awake.
