The herd needs thinning. See Darwin, Charles.

Yep, ah rekun.....

Talking about thinning the flock, I find the Darwin Awards rather amusing. Here's 2018's offerings...

After a quick survey, it looks like stupidity is more lethal in England than the USA.
If this is accurate what does it mean?

I would suggest the following:

a). Stupid people in the USA are luckier than the stupid people in the UK.
b). Stupid people in the UK engage in more lethal activities than those in the USA (making them, perhaps, all the more stupid).
c). A combination of both the above are true.

Right, I'm off to set a new record for fire walking whilst drinking petrol.

Some things will never change, as we are evolving at a very slow pace. Only a fraction of the population is intelligent.

“Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.” ~ George Carlin

Not the best grammar, perhaps, and George may not have been the first to say it, but this thought has always bothered me--because it's necessarily true.
