Randomly typing the start to questions into Google launches a whole host of weirdness that changes depending upon the searches people type into the search engine giant. Not only are they often interesting, but down right strange. I type in the requests and then answer the questions. You're welcome.

It's a question that has been plaguing man for centuries. How stupid? The answer is quite often: very. When typing "how stupid" into Google, there are at least a couple responses that seem obvious. One surprised me...pleasantly.

4. How stupid are you?
It's important to remember that when answering this question, the questioner was asking this of the world in general. Speaking for the world as a whole, I say, not very stupid at all. Oh, sure, you could point to the annual Darwin Awards as proof that we humans are beyond saving. There's racism and starvation and rape and murder and war and pestilence (I thought they got rid of that during Biblical times)...and, uh, can I get back to you on that?

3. How stupid are Americans?
If you pay attention to statistics, we are somewhere between average and below average in our educational standards and that probably translates pretty well to the average adult. Of course, in 'Merica, we don't need no fancy book learnin' and we think statamatistics is for devil worshippin' and commies, so I think you have your answer, sir.

2. How stupid can I be?
Fortunately for you, there are dozens of "am I dumb" quiz sites all over the internet to help you figure it out. Of course, to find them, you have to search for the first item on this list and if you are really an idiot, that might be too much for you. But, at least you can feel comforted by the fact that Canadian singer and star of homeless animal commercials that make me cry asks the same question.

1. How stupid is Rick Perry?
It's funny you should ask because we just happen to have a handy dandy little tool for helping you figure that out. Enjoy!
