Who knew that Louisiana had the highest rate of gonorrhea in the the US and Maryland the highest rate of AIDS’ diagnoses? Pennsylvania has the rightest rate of deaths by arson while Virginia has the highest rate of drunk motorcycle deaths. Kentucky has the highest rate of cancer deaths and the highest rate of smoking. Ummm, perhaps there’s a correlation? Just a guess.

Anyone who has ever been to Massachusetts will not be surprised to learn that they have the worst drivers. It hardly seems possible but Utah has highest rate of online subscriptions to pornographic magazines. Just what are all those Mormons doing late at night?
