Vive la différence

Posted by on

MenWomenSo, you think men and women are different?

Well, there’s a neuroscientist in Birmingham (the one on England, not the one in Alabama) that says there are no difference between the brains of men and women.

“The bottom line is that saying there are differences in male and female brains is just not true. There is pretty compelling evidence that any differences are tiny and are the result of environment not biology,” said Prof Rippon.

Oh, that’s Professor Gina Rippon.

Sounds just like a woman, doesn’t it. She says that it’s environment, not biology that makes the sexes different.

That’s right. She says sex doesn’t make a difference.

I’m thinking she’s not doing it right. Or nearly enough.

Random Thoughts: CPAC, Frank J. 2016, and Cosmos

BREAKING: For the first time in CPAC history, the winner of the Straw Poll was “curly.”

Why hasn’t an atheist opened up a Chick-fil-A competitor that is only open on Sunday in defiance of God and all His creation?

The difference between Biden and Obama is that Biden’s stupidity is mostly harmless.

It’s okay for races other than Caucasian to have diverse political opinions. You shouldn’t freak out when you see a black Republican.

Brick and mortar jerk stores have been failing because of the easy availability of jerks online.

As a programmer/digital circuit designers, I can say that the most difficult thing in the tech world is plugging in a USB cable first try.

A reminder for CPAC: I will be old enough to be president later this year.

If elected president, I promise to play video games all day while letting everyone solve their own damn problems.

“You don’t bother me, I won’t bother you,” will be my entire inauguration speech and the last speech I give. #FrankJ2016

I will consider myself a success if by the end of my term half of Americans can’t name who the president is. #FrankJ2016

“No matter what the conditions are in the country, I get paid the same. Figure it out yourself.” #FrankJ2016

Finished House of Cards. Pretty curious where they’re going to with things in a 3rd season.

“Want to hatefully denounce everyone who disagrees with you as bigots? Are you smug and immune to irony? Maybe Democrats are right for you.”

I’ll acknowledge that Sarah Palin is unbelievably stupid if you at least admit she’s smarter and more experienced than the current president

Ron Paul had a way of delivering his message to make it very popular among a very fringe group. Will be interesting to see how Rand does.

In reality, the only way to get someone like Ron Swanson in government would be against his will.

Can’t believe we get one less hour this weekend. Wouldn’t it be better to set clocks forward in the middle of the workday on a Friday?

If Charles Dickens was such a great writer, then how come it was someone else who wrote the screenplay for The Terminator?

3yo daughter Sunday morning: “See I’m yawning? That means I’m tired.” Hey, don’t blame me; blame the government.

“We need to tell the government, ‘No no no. Don’t change the time!'” Preach it!

The voices in my head keep telling me I’m insane and a danger to society. Why do they lie? I swear I’ll hurt people until they stop lying!

Just realized I never set up voicemail on my iPhone I’ve had for a few months now. Oops.

I no understand news! Who is Barraco Barner? Is there internet page for me?

Yglesias’s suit looks like what someone in 2014 would wear as envisioned in 80s scifi.

The depiction of our asteroid belt on Cosmos was scientifically inaccurate; should I not listen to the rest of the show?

So, True Detective… worth watching?
