Study Indicates Male Brain Four Per Cent Faster

Our brains function faster because we fuel them with a natural high-energy super-nutrient: BEER.

Perhaps this explains why a man doesn't need the toilet seat down.

A man will look before sitting down.

Asbestos suit on!

[Spiff]

Men obviously have faster brains which explains why we are so easily distracted and have shorter attention sp.....Look, shiny! (Wanders off)

This doesn't surprise me in the least. Its due to distributed processors.

Processor A is located in the cranial cavity.
Processor B is located elsewhere.

Processor A is actually slower than the female equivalent.
Processor B is way overclocked, at warp speed.

Together, they average out to +4%

"and after thousands of years of drooping breasts, it took a MAN to conceive (and construct) the design for the bra"

Yes. And he should have been shot for it. A bra is the most uncomfortable think I've ever worn.

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

Obviously the male brain works faster. It has to, because it's smaller...

Um, Ken, I detect a faint whiff of 'embedded with/by the enemy' here...or is 4% of you being held hostage? LOL

[NoControllingLegalAuthority]

So, the law requires you to wear a bra? If a man found something was uncomfortable to wear, he might use his superior brain speed to decide to TAKE IT OFF.

This study is bunkum!

When I entered my brain in the 400 meter hurdles against Gail Deavers, it got creamed.

Even if it were so, mental variations among individuals will always be more important than mental differences between groups. You can say that Swedes are taller than Italians but Swedish jockeys are shorter than Italian basketball players.

Group differences like this tell you noithing about individuals.

[Capriole]

...a man's brain can only carry ONE message at a time, while a woman's brain, although slower, is juggling 16 messages at once.

That's right. We women do parallel processing; yall male-type people are linear processors. One isn't better than another, but it explains why I can simultaneously help one child with her algebra homework, help a younger child with his reading, check a diaper, carry on a phone conversation, and work on the computer at the same time (while timing something on the stove). I'm a mom.

You need to drink more.

The alcohol will kill off the slow, weak, dumb braincells and the quick, smart, strong brain cells will thrive and your brain will be faster!

(I like Darwin! LOL!)

Study Indicates Male Brain Four Per Cent Faster

That's because we aren't slowed down by the part of the brain that asks for directions.

"They stress that their discovery does not mean men are smarter -- and that the difference in gender reaction times is minimal.

". . . the small sex difference that we reported (4 per cent) was secondary to the purpose of the study (which was to attempt to replicate an earlier report by the first-author)," Vernon wrote in an email to CTV.ca.

"Had we conducted the study with younger participants it is possible (likely) that girls would have shown faster NCVs than boys," added Vernon.

"Finally, a difference as small as 4 per cent is unlikely to yield any meaningful differences in cognitive abilities (which is probably why the vast majority of previous studies have found no sex differences in general intelligence)."

Apologetics, apologetics...

What may be afoot here... Hmmm...?

(Please pass that asbestos suit, prontito!)

[March I up]

Cheers to that!

[sergeantdave]

We need that extra 4% to process this - - why do women think the way they do? - - before answering any question a woman asks

[jimfree]

Well I know that I am at least 4 percent more impetuous than Mrs. jimfree. Is that the same thing?

[sep·ten·tri·on XX]

Gail Devers eh?





When I entered my brain in the 400 meter hurdles against Gail Deavers, it got creamed.

hehehe no doubt...;o) Did she help rip it out of your skull? ...

[Nataku X]

no, it took a woman. http://inventors.about.com/library/weekly/aa042597.htm

[mlmr]

But our brains are 10% cuter!

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

My brain is currently in suspended animation.

Tyco Brahe's brain is the one replying to your comments.

He's using Babelfish.
