I heard a myth that girls are smarter than boys naturally. If this is true, how come most people refer to 'smart' people as Einstein? Try looking at the mass of brains from both genders and ages to determine if this is a myth or if girls are truely smarter than boys.

Come take a break and chat at the water cooler! Please don't post myths here, they will be deleted.


The fact that you posted this here goes along way in busting or confirming this myth.

Are you a male or a female?

And, before this gets deleted, it's worth pointing out that our Neanderthal cousins had larger brains than we do. Brain mass is the wrong measure to be using, in this case.

bsflag... don't EVEN go there. I will have to hurt you with my modstick

Because if we referred to them as "Curie," people would confuse this with the unit.

Uhoh the modstick, I'd better run away.

Wow. After the past few days, I thought the modstick would be in need of recharging.

It has been getting some use lately.
