I'm shocked, shocked I tell you!

Anyone who ever met a person of the opposite sex knows it.
There are those who deny it for political reasons but deep inside they know it too.

Okay, but what about gays and lesbians, just how are their brains wired vs. men and women? Oh look I just gave someone justification for a new asinine study grant.

Amazing that they can prove this but can’t find any difference between normal people’s brains and homo pervert brains. This drives another nail into the homos-are-born-that-way coffin.

You will notice that the two blue dots at the front of the male brain are not connected while the blue dots at the front of the female brain are connected to other blue dots. We can deduce from this that males are more independent or we don’t have enough string in our heads.

Gosh. I'm so glad that a crack college team did a study to determine this. Would never have suspected it based on the sum total of human observation.

Bet this was the product of a government grant.

Liberals erase their brains of all common sense so they can have a sense of wonder when they discover something obvious.
