It is quite odd, especially given an interesting phenomenom known as the Flynn Effect, whereby starting around the 1930s, people have scoring progressively higher marks on IQ tests at a rate of approximately 3 points per decade.
Which I probably should have mentioned before Christmas, since it's an invaluable weapon against cranky older relatives.

I've used that one on a couple uncles to great effect. ;-)

Wow, I didn't know this. That's highly interesting. I just googled a bunch of stuff on this.

See. The easy way is Google, they never invented Google.

Ok, so they never had computers or the internet, but that just further prooves it. Computers, debateably, have made life easier, they never invented them
