I am so smart, I am so smart. S-M-R-T!

Many might argue that, on the whole, society's getting dumber by the minute. Well to whatever extent folks are getting dumber, lawyers are getting dumberer!

This, according to some study by the Centre for Market and Public Organisation. Comparing the IQ scores of lawyers born in 1958 and 1970, the study found that the older group did about 11 percent than the average Joe, while the 1970's group only did 8 percent better. This three-percent drop "was a greater fall than the majority of other professions where the gap narrowed by about 1 percentage point." So lawyers are still smarter than the average bear, but not by as much as they used to be. Doctors, teachers and bankers all got dumber too, just not as precipitously fast as us law-talking guys. We rule!
