I, for one, have never been in a car accident.


Awhile ago, a website called Pleated-Jeans created a map of the United States showing something every individual state is worst at. Each state, according to Pleated-Jeans' research, is the worst at whatever they're labeled with.

Are some of these actually bad though? Ohio is "the nerdiest state"--which just means everyone goes to college for engineering and will have a six-figure salary soon.

By comparison, Maine is supposed to be the dumbest. As a fellow New Englander with traveling experiences in Maine, that seems entirely plausible. Having a conversation with some folks there requires pictograms and lots of hand gesturing.

Meanwhile, Massachusetts has the worst drivers, while Wyoming has the most fatal car crashes. Those two facts seem to negate one another, no? I would think that having the most fatal car crashes pretty much equals having the worst drivers, too. Sure, people from Massachusetts might be driving 40mph over the speed limit, but damned if we don't know how to avoid turning pedestrians into speed bumps.
