Why do the questions over the weekend lack eloquence and intelligence compared to during the week?

I've been answering questions several days a week for over 2 years and the IQ of the questions drops by 20 to 30 points about 9 PM on Friday until Monday afternoon. I'm not trying to insult anyone or point fingers at any demograph but after 2+ years this has been ridiculously consistent. Anybody got a suggestion as to why or noticed a similar phenomena?

    I think the efficiency deteriorates over the week-end because of over-use of the mind. It should be given sufficient rest and recuperation in between or, one should take energetic food and drink and share the divine presence of some spiritually powerful holy men.

    Because most smart people have high paying jobs and can afford to go out on the weekends to party or whatever they do.

    Perhaps people with an I.Q. over 80 have better things to do with their time on the weekends?
