Detroit, figures. That place must be like something out of Dante’s Inferno, only colder.

As an aside...A lady called Rush the other day and stated that Detroit has 49% illiteracy. Rush seemed doubtful, but I checked online and she wasn’t far off. Detroit’s literacy rate is 47%.

Wow, that’s terrible. They’re worse than some third-world countries... I mean, you can’t get that kind of illiteracy rate in just a few years. That takes a generation or so to get there...

OOPS! Detroit’s illiteracy rate is 47%, which I guess means 53% are literate.
