Hey, come on. Not everyone knows everything, and some of my fellow Brits are moronic but come on... there are stupid people everywhere. Why did you have to laugh at this and say "Baffle Britons"? Thats generalisation man and it hurts that you hate us so... Well, time to start the empire back up... We didnt want to do this again but you have to learn to respect your elders. XD
I want to say that human stupidity doesn't surprise me anymore, but it still does. I came up with these numbers as a general rule. 50% of the population of the world is retarded, 25% are stupid, and 25% are intelligent. These number are also backed up by the percentage of people who think fallout 3 is a good game. My research shall continue.
Well, it was a survey to see if those people could identify anatomy. Not the nation as a whole.
The quiz takers are not good at anatomy, but it doesn't mean the entire nation is bad at it.

I have noticed on these forums quite a bit of US vs UK posts and threads.Didn't we all learn anything when we won the Korean War by nuking the British at the Alamo?--it's over...let it go.
I'm American,and I like the Brits.Sue me.

You have to realise the people had time to do this study would have had free time and willing to do it for the small cash incentive (I'm assuming there was some money involved) are not the important people here in Britain, and the stupid are always likely to outnumber the smartRatman95 said:
Try reading the article, it's just the same alliterative headline the bbc used. And saying "Basic Anatomy Baffles Just Over 50% of Britons" doesn't have the same ring to it. It's not quite the slur against the country that you're making it out to be, just an example of our great nation's legendary, self-deprecating humour. Or lazy journalists, take your pick.Evil Jak said:
I don't see how people on the forum can be so judgemental of these people who can't exactly locate their organs, although some of the answers were pretty stupid. Given that the average age of an Escapist forum-user is of a age that it is very likely they are still in education, we are probably more likely to know where they are, simply as we have more recently/still be studying biology. I'd assume that most of those surveyed are past that age and could well have forgotten a lot of what they had learned in school as it hasn't been relevant to most of them for a long time.
Of course, this is all unfounded speculation on my part. I'm just calling for some perspective.
It's happening everywhere, why should England be any different? I've convinced people I had no heart, psychic powers, and that Ireland was attached to England by chains to prevent it rolling away with the tides. Each was a different person, each was an A-Level student.
Seriously though? Couldn't tell where the heart was? That's just pathetic. Pancreas is more understandable, but you can literally feel your heart...it's times like this I wonder if they were being intentionally thick.
Probably just wishful thinking...

Its quite sad that so many people can't locate their own heart but I doubt that this will 'Compromise Patient Care' as the article suggests. By the time anyone who has to care for invalids is allowed near a patient they have at least had some first aid training which includes a basic understanding of anatomy.
wow.
That wasn't the good wow, or the game wow. it was the "wow, that study was done on unbelievably mentally depleted people. And by that I mean obese moronic fools. And by that I mean idiots" wow.
And on the tangent: Fallout 3 isn't bad... it's just not really good, like Oblivion.

I have also noticed a number of Brit-hate posts. I'm From England and I think the Americans are alright, if not over patriotic. I agree though, some people are freaking moronic but not knowing where their heart is? Pfft, either deliberate or uneducated drunken retardlings.
Well at least I never have to worry about being stabbed or hurt if the average citizen can't even locate where my heart is let alone my kidneys. Luckily I know just where to cut them mahahaahah.
