[Spridgets] No LBC - Smart ass kid brag

[Ron Soave]

So now that it's in the midnight hour of the LBC season in the midwest, hobbies have turned a little. I'm demo-ing a new home theater sound setup to my 16 yr old son Bobby tonight. We're watching "Iron Man" and the lead character snaps at a reporter "my father worked on the Manhattan Project building the atomic bomb that defeated the Nazis." 

My son starts giggling. I ask what's so funny - his comment was "the Nazis surrendered in May 1945, and the bombs were dropped on Japan 3 months later, so the bomb wasn't even used on the Nazis."

I read today that elected officials averaged 44% on a US civic knowledge test. Not in my house ;-)
