Stupid in the City

Seems like it has some major flaws in the methodology, but it is fun nevertheless.

"We based our rankings on the number of bachelor's degrees per capita, the number of universities, inhabitants' SAT scores, state creativity scores as assessed by Catalytix and the Richard Florida Creativity Group, and the number of Nobel Prize winners for physics and medicine born within the towns' borders. "

Check it out from the people who brought you the fattest cities list.

#1 Minneapolis, Minn A+

#26. Wichita, KS B (my hometown)

#101 Ft Wayne, Ind F ( Dan Quayle was from Ft. Wayne)

Now, Curtis the former VP is not from my home town. He was born in Indy and went to school near the Fort but not in the Fort.

Well, if they drop Quayle and add you then Ft. Wayne should be considerably higher. At least as high as Wichita.

Yeah, but I don't live there anymore. They keep talking about it in the paper; there was even an article about attempting to create a rivalry between the Fort and whatever city was just ahead of them. Weird, maybe that explains alot.
