Attention, Dr. Frankenstein, and maybe Gloria Steinem: There are girl brains, then there are boy brains. But there's not one generic human brain, no matter what hand-wringing feminists may insist in their quest for sexual equality. Some stark new clinical evidence shows that men and women are just not the same upstairs. "The comedians are right. The science proves it. A man's brain and a woman's brain really do work differently," a research team from the University of Alberta in Canada announced yesterday. After analyzing magnetic resonance imaging (MRIs) of 23 men and 10 women, the team found that the sexes use different areas of the brain even when working on exactly the same task. "The larger implications of this work is that we may increasingly find out that there are differences in the 'hard wiring' of male and female brains," said study author Dr. Peter Silverstone, a psychiatrist. Though Dr. Silverstone hopes that these revelations will lead to more innovative ways to treat depression and other mental illnesses, these findings might one day explain certain persistent behaviors that make for a more lively existence. Why do men, for example, refuse to ask for directions while women are busy peering at maps and landmarks during the same automobile journey? Why do women cry and men sleep through a sappy movie? Could it be that old hard-wiring?

No explanation of why men can't put the seat down, or women kill a spider in the shower...
now where is that Captian Obvious picture when you need it?
Ahhhhh ... that's really sweet. Too bad it's not Valentine's Day.
A picture is worth a thousand studies.
Yhanks for the link. I'm always amused by the wit of our freepers.
Umm, and they needed to do a study to find this out. I think it's pretty much a given.
Larry Summers, call your office.
I hope this article puts to rest the age-old complaint from daughters:
YOU'RE FATHER LOVES YOU BY PROVIDING FOR YOU SECURITY
NOT BY SAYING SOMETHING THAT MOMENTARILY MAKES YOU FEEL SECURE.
(For the record I do both for my daughter)
Women who have no insecurities jealousy, vindictiveness or have a charismatic personality are a rarity.
That is why you will find many women get along better with men because men do not carry these issues.
Tyra Banks said on one of her shows it is really hard to find authentic g/f’s because so many women are filled with such envious emotions they cannot get by in seeing the beauty she has inside..YA THINK??? LOL…
Men get to pee standing up, women get to have multiple orgasms ... quit bitching about the damn toilet seat
Men and Women are from the same planet after all

I never understood the toilet seat argument. If anything the woman should remember to put the seat UP so the guy doesn't pee on it. If a guy wont get up to look for the remote control what makes you think he will bend over to lift the seat.
The spider on the other hand is a different story. My wife kills the spiders....I hate spiders.
