Every state has their load of baggage, as this map conveniently shows. And as far as having a black mark against it, Ohio could do worse than being the “nerdiest” state, a title which was arrived at because Ohio has the highest per capita library visits in America.

At least we’re not the worst state for bestiality, like Washington, or mobile homes, like South Carolina.

  2. Wait – it says “What is your state the worst at?”. So, we would then be the worst at being nerds. And, Utah is really bad at porn usage and Louisiana does very poorly at gonorrhea and Alaska just can’t get the hang of suicide. It makes sense to say that Virginia is the worst in teacher’s salaries, but most of them don’t amke sense. I think they lost the definition of their joke half way thorugh the punchline.
