Size Does Matter... But Only in Women

Frankenmoro writes "This online article at Nature notes that new research indicates that a woman's intelligence is directly related to the size of her brain. But, before you uber-male-geeks start to gloat, it may be that a woman with half your brain size has the same language processing power as you do, seeing as how you only use half of your brain to process language, and she's using it all... Lazy boy."

But we only need to use half our brain...

Stupid women who must use all their processing power simply to process language. With our superiour intellect, we can use the rest of our brain for more important stuff while they are struggling to understand what we said...

Or more likely, when she talks, I'm concentrating on something else, and never listen...

Ahhhhh.....

Since I only use half my brain for language processing this must mean that I am, basically, always distracted by something else going on inside my head... This must be why I get ambushed in conversations by women capable of focusing their entire intellect on the task at hand [and so on... world's out to get me blah blah blah...

Monday Morning Joke

There were 11 people hanging onto a rope that came down from a helicopter. Ten were men and one woman. The rope was starting to fray so they all agreed that one person should let go because if they didn't the rope would break and everyone would die. No one could decide who should go so finally the woman gave a very touching speech saying how she would give up her life to save the others, because women were used to giving up things for their husbands and children, giving in to men, and that after all men were the superior sex and must be saved.

When she finished speaking, all the men clapped.

Grrr....

This is absolutly the greatest topic I have seen on Slashdot for sometime and I can't really think of a thing to say. I had better go find some women to speak for me.
