[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"she's sharp as a tack, but aren't they all?" No they all can't be-a statistical impossibility that the few out there are all in this area of the world.[/quote] Actually, since [b]IQ and good looks are both largely genetic[/b], and IQ is further influenced by nuture (exposure to certain things that are more commonly available in higher socio-economic homes) the Washington DC area [b][i]DOES[/i][/b] have a higher number of smart and good looking children. The IQ is higher because this area of the US has the highest concentration of "college and graduate degree'd" adults and the "good" looks because their parents are likely to have been more sucessful partially because of his or her own looks. Also, physical attractiveness includes grooming and having access to money and services that cater to the wealthy helps with grooming (or the knowledge/how to).[/quote]
