Something for the Freepers

Not that any of them should brag, since many of their cohorts believe that Dinosaurs were Jesus Horses and all.

But it appears that no matter what the country, its citizenry is damned stupid. With Britain and the United States so recently having displayed a profound lack of knowledge, we can take comfort that the French are stupid too:

[C]ontenders for "Greatest French Person of all Time" came as a surprise, even to the French. Two are barely known outside France: the comedian Coluche and the singer and actor Bourvil.

...

The Emperor Napoleon came 16th. No living politician scored higher than 42nd (Jacques Chirac). The only living person in the top 10 was Abbé Pierre, 92, a Jesuit priest and campaigner for the under-privileged, who regularly tops the polls of France's favourite people

.



Once again, Americans in general shouldn't go bragging about knowledge of history as a recent poll ranked Reagan and Clinton as better Presidents than George Washington.

Idiocy is apparently the new "Black".
