Special Statistics

Heard some interesting statistics a week or so ago.  I guess they did some sort of test and found out that Utah has the lowest percent of people with STDs (though I don't think this surprised anyone).  There was also another test that revealed Utah has the lowest percent of underage drinkers - also not a surprise.  I'm not sure if this helps or hurts the reputation of the state.  Most Utahans, I'm sure, are proud of this.  Considering most of the population is LDS, it seems appropriate they wouldn't have a lot of diseases or drunkards.  On some level, it gives them bragging rights that they have such low statistics.  What great kids they've raised.  For other people, it gives them more rights to make fun of the state.  Anyone outside Utah has a very unique perspective of what actually goes on 'round these parts.  Unless someone has lived here, it's pretty apparent most think it's a crazy place full of weird cults.  So, to announce they have the least amount of not sexually-active and non-drinking teens just adds to the "weirdness."  Because honestly, everywhere else in the nation has plenty of it (except maybe Idaho too).

Omaha, for example, has the highest percent of STDs per capita in the nation.

We are super special there.
