  1. “It’s, erm, all part of the quiz! Yeah.”

  2. Aha! Shouldn’t that have been:

    The word “Your” should be “you’re”

    and “Dumber”, “dumber”?

  3. Actually, I don’t think it _should_ have a question mark — that (2) at the front is part of it, saying “Two people think you’re dumber than George Bush.” It should have a period or exclamation point, though. No good reason to put the numbers in parentheses, either. I can excuse the title case, personally… or I could if they’d managed to capitalize “than” as well. Points for not using “then”, though.

  4. i *think* that the (2) means “2 people have taken the quiz”, and “think your dumber than george bush” is the title of the quiz. the second line indicates one person has scored higher and the one person has scored lower than some limit set by the quiz author.
