If you where really knowledgeable about history, you would know that the
colloquial term "Moron" came from Al Capone's 1920's. And if you bother
to read text from the period, you would find the term used to be "Moran"
with an "a-n" after the infamous mobster John Moran, who, just couldn't
put the dots together on a regular basis.

What a crock. The English word is derived from the Greek word moron, neuter
of moros, meaning stupid or foolish. I don't have an OED at hand to see how
far back it does in English usage, but it appeared in a Mirriam-Webster
dictionary in 1910.
