Mardi Gras New Orleans, LouisianaResidents of Louisiana spend less time doing physical activity than residents in the other 49 states.

Bloomberg BusinessWeek defines "laziness" as "a measure of leisure time spent doing sedentary activities compared with activities that require more physical effort, such as exercising and even working." With that definition in hand, and using U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics figures from between the years 2004 and 2008, they applied it on a state-by-state basis.

Louisianans took the "lazy" crown by spending an average of only 2 hours and 41 minutes a day working -- which is 42 minutes less than the average American. In further comparisons, residents of the Bayou State also spent nine minutes more a day sleeping, 37 minutes more watching TV, 11 minutes more relaxing and 10 minutes more socializing.

Mississippi and Arkansas came in second and third on Bloomberg BusinessWeek's laziness scale, whereas North Dakota rated as the most active state.

Having witnessed the frenzy of Mardi Gras, we seriously doubt that Louisianans are lazy. Perhaps, during the rest of the year, they're just unmotivated.
