I have a friends wife who is exactly this bright as this 10 wattage....amazing some can be that dense....she doesn't understand a lot, but if you asked her something about a TV show or any music from the 80s...she is spot on...
For the record, as much as I suck at news, I don't suck THAT bad. I remember watching all the Inaugural Ball coverage and listening to a co-worker say "Who's Michelle??? Is that his wife or something???"
