I'm not sure how these two statements are related, but maybe they are!

How can that be on DU? I think the Internet is about to implode!

It was a reaction to a saying I see around here regarding dumb people as "mouth breathers." Somehow, if you draw air mainly through your mouth it makes you stupid. It couldn't have anything to do with having narrow nasal passages, oh no.
