quote:Yep, I remember that. It felt strange carrying books down to one side with one hand. (Had to try). Always wondered about that difference. Of course, one couldn't sneak up behind a girl and push the books out of her hand as you could the way the boys carried them. Maybe it does deal with instincts. Very interesting.

It occurs to me (finally) that the kids use backpacks nowadays. I bet Og the caveman came home one day carrying a deer over his shoulders and Mrs. Og figured that, with some modifications, that would be a good way of carrying a baby. Life is like a Hot Wheels car. Sometimes it goes behind the couch and you can\'t find it.

That's why included the word exceptionally, normal ugly chicks get a pass when the beer is involved. I'd need to be passed out on the floor fpr the exceptional ones, and when that happens, I don't think any chick can get a rise out of me.

Females have elbows that articulate at a significantly different angle than do males. Just get a group of people to extend their arms out in front of them, palms up, and you can see the differences. This might have something to do with it. Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.

Literally walking around with arms crossed? I'm not sure I've ever seen that, except when it is cold outside and people are trying to preserve body heat. Strange... This might be an uniquely cultural thing that women do in the UK. "Reason obeys itself; and ignorance submits to whatever is dictated to it" -- Thomas Paine

Might as well ask why men put both their hands right in front of their crotch.

Yeah I know how that is. I had my books knocked out of my hand back in 1963. One book , the one on the bottom of the pile that was fully in my hand had the cover and fist 20 or so pages torn apart. I wound up having to pay for it, a cool 10 bucks which was a lot for a 15 year old back then.

There's a very simple way to demonstrate this. If you put a chair up against the wall and then stand bent over it with your body forming a 90 degree angle and your head meeting the wall, a man will not be able to pick up the chair while a woman would. When I was in college 60 years ago, when this fact was brought to our attention, our entire physics department had a lot of fun testing this out. As more and more people saw other people trying to do this, more and more people stepped up and volunteered. It was funny watching the macho, body building type guys trying with all their might and failed to pick up the chair that way. The women thought it was the easiest thing to do. Fun times... Not to mention one time one of the groups accidently shot their air canon into the wall and made a hole in the wall. My partner and I topped it off by making our gasoline engine rigged into a hydrogen engine explode in the lab. Still keeping my fingers crossed about them sending us a bill.

Not quite. They can both pick up the chair, the challenge is to then stand straight up. However, in order for this to work, as I understand it, both need to got heel to two three times to determine how far away from the wall they stand. And, the man can't push off the wall. There's a discussion of this at an old snopes forum board here. Ridicule is the only weapon which can be used against unintelligible propositions. Ideas must be distinct before reason can act upon them; and no man ever had a distinct idea of the trinity. It is the mere Abracadabra of the mountebanks calling themselves the priests of Jesus. -- Thomas Jefferson For we know that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness. We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus -- and non-believers. -- Barack Obama We see monsters where science shows us windmills. -- Phat It has always struck me as odd that fundies devote so much time and effort into trying to find a naturalistic explanation for their mythical flood, while looking for magical explanations for things that actually happened. -- Dr. Adequate

Correction: inappropriate use of a comma. If you want to play the nitpicking game instead of inserting common sense where appropriate, I can play this game, too.
