    I can read through some of the real threads on here and tell we are the brightest. Skip over the irrational posts and you will see. And I honestly think Ohio/Midwest has the best looking people in the U.S. IMO. Plus, no other city could sustain 3 major sports franchises that have been this mediocre for this long.
