    You're spoiled for choice then Fran (Sorry but I am already taken).

    It is a statistical fact that women are on average very slightly more intelligent than men but that the most intelligent beings on the planet are with out doubt men.

    To understand the logic of this you need to be familiar with the Gaussian distribution.

    The distribution of intelligence amongst women has a narrow distribution about the mean while for men it is much wider also the mean is just very slighter higher for women.

    Yep, although not just his intelligence but I've always liked astronomy.

    They had a space exhibit at the Farnborough Airshow last year, it was amazing. The UK Space Agency were there.

    I remember attending the Farnborough Airshow when they first exhibited the hovercraft. I think it was around 1959.

    Blackburn Rovers have identified Gus Poyet as the man to replace Henning Berg as the club's new manager but have been priced out of a move due to the amount of compensation sought by his current club Brighton & Hove Albion.


    Now I know they are desperate!

    My brother was so intigued by that he built a small hovercraft attached to a domestic vacuum cleaner. I can remember my mother (not a small woman) floating up the hall:smile:

    Explains why you meet more really stupid men:smile: I know the piece you mean...men are more likely to be geniuses or morons. Geniuses are often very single-minded and ignore normal life...neither really describe women who usually have real life intrude on them. I also read astudy that showed that the average intelligence of Jews is higher than normal. Of course, both pieces of research may have been superceded by later studies.

    This probably explains why nearly all of the women I have met are more interested in keeping the house tidy and doing the washing up than discussing the first principles of Euclidean mathematics.

    Luckily I met one of those wonderful women who score just inside the 4th standard deviation above the mean for female intelligence and she undestands geometry.

    The only thing that astonished me is that she actually liked me and then married me.

    Even to this day I don't understand why.

    Kevin Pietersen has signed a full term central contract with the ECB. That should be the end of that saga then.

    Haha they've actually started protesting and supporting the motion to kick Barry Sanchez (GMI) off of SaintsWeb.

    That takes some going.

    He's a stirrer and likes to wind people up. No one could really be as angry as him all the time...you'd have heart failure.

    Don't read them, and don't reply. If we ignore him he can't get on our nerves. He posted a thread at 12 and already has 6 pages of replies don't let him rile you! :)
