Scientists Find Dumbaxx Gene In People (picture)

This is a true: Researchers from the prestigious Johns Hopkins University, as well as those at the University of Nebraska, have discovered a “stupidity” virus, ABC News reported.

While conducting an unrelated experiment, the scientists took throat cultures from subjects and the 44 percent who tested positive for the “stupidity virus” had IQs up to nine points lower than those who did not have the virus.

While the ABC News story reporting on the discovery did not mention where the subjects were from, through diligent work I learned the volunteers were members of the Congress and the Senate in Washington, D.C.

I also learned that the IQ tests were in the areas of attention span and visual information and the test subjects were demonstrably lower in those who had the stupid virus.

The same results were found when rats were tested, researchers said, which is not surprising because most of the Washington politicians are of the same species.

“This is a striking example showing that the ‘innocuous’ micro-organisms we carry can affect behavior and cognition,” lead investigator Robert Yolken said.

Republicans insisted that the test subjects were Democrats, while the Democrats said the volunteers were Republicans. MOREHERE
