1. Men are like SUVs
Bigger tanks that they don't use very efficiently.

3. Truer words have never been spoken
well, if we actually had bigger brains. I doubt that. Even if we did, between our penis and other distractions our brains are render pretty much useless. :)

15. It's true (on average), but it doesn't mean much.
Men also have bigger arms, legs etc. on average. Whales have bigger brains that humans.

32. Well, a person's intelligence
isn't so much dependent on the size of the brain, but the density, AFAIK.

5. wow the Lounge is just weak compared to the old days
Two years ago I would have already been trying to escape with my life. Now nary a peep, and one reply was by a guy too.

I think DU women just stopped taking me serious a long time ago. :)

31. It's not the size of the rowboat that's the problem...
It's the design.
Try a sea kayak!

14. Yup, for shame, back in the old days my head would be on a platter
I tell you what.* Youth just aren't what they used to be. Back in Ought-Five, Feminist DUers would go through six miles of thread bashing the hell out of me. In snow. Uphill both ways. :P

I would be in tears by now.** TEARS I SAY!!!!





*Vote Wetzelbill/Kurovski '08

**much like Chuck Norris and Jack Bauer, Wetzelbill has never cried. Nor will he.

16. Dr. Oz on Oprah said that today
The audience booed him. Oy.

Brain size has no bearing on cognition. Einstein had a small brain. Bush's brain is so big, it runs out of his pants every day before he can make it to the bathroom.

19. well in all honesty
we are pretty much wired to only use it to think about food, beer and sex, so whatever extra space we may have is absolutely useless. :)

20. Since women are usually physically smaller than men...
...it is only logical that on average women have slightly smaller brains. It has no effect on intelligence. Remember that much of the brain controls muscular coordination and regulation and not thinking. Women generally also have smaller hearts, kidneys, femoral arteries etv. etc. than men too. The only times brain size matters is if there is an abnormal defect in brain development. Average brain size for a SPECIES determines the typical intelligence of that species, but normal individual variations don't mean anything.

23. The thing is, there's not enough blood in the body to serve both heads...
...At the same time, and men can't go but a few minutes without a sexual thought.

Sort of like standing behind Einstein with a pair of cymbals, and every few seconds....well, you get my drift

Excuse me, I'm overdue for mi secchoool thhhhhhhhhhot..............

25. And they have smaller bodies to run
So, it works out.

Besides, women have "The Pouch", which is a separately-located storage facility for everything you have every done wrong to them, real or imagined. The Pouch does not forget, and all wrongs are instantly available to the woman for use in an argument. The Pouch also has a special retrieval features that gives priority to wrongs that you have entirely forgotten you ever did (or may not have even done in the first place but sounds like something you would have done) and can fire those out at a rate that would make an Uzi green with envy.

I believe The Pouch function is actually what the uterus does when it's not preggers, but I'm not positive.

By putting all of the grievious errors (real or imagined) in The Pouch, the woman's brain has a lot more horsepower freed up for thinking.

in general. smaller head would indicate a smaller brain (in humans)

33. No no no, it only appears that way through empirical observation
We just thing ABOUT our penises a lot. Or rather, what our penises want to do to that hottie in the Daisey Dukes that on the "Girls Gone Wild" commercials, the one on the stage next to the brass pole...

um...

oh my...


:wow:




<shakes head>



I'm sorry, was I saying something?
