European IQs (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2-2105519,00.html)

A new European league of IQ scores has ranked the British in eighth place, well above the French, who were 19th. According to Richard Lynn of the University of Ulster, Britons have an average IQ of 100. The French scored 94. But it is not all good news. Top of the table were the Germans, with an IQ of 107. The British were also beaten by the Netherlands, Poland, Sweden, Italy, Austria and Switzerland.

Who do you pick in the finals between Germans & the Dutch? :D
P.S. Some good news for the USA: "Britons excel in another area of Professor Lynn’s research. He found that university students had, at 109, the second-highest undergraduate IQs in the world, beaten only by their US counterparts on 110."

So, one can only assume taking a degree makes you more stupid.

Well...there is the copious amount of alcohol I suppose.
