Recently read that men do have slightly bigger brains than females. Might be part of the reason most inventions and great thinking came from men.

I have read that the intelligence distribution of males compared to females is much wider. That means there are more men at the top of the IQ scale and more at the bottom. Females have a tighter distribution around the mean.

The Brain

In the hospital, the relatives gathered in the waiting room, where their family member lay gravely ill. Finally, the doctor came in looking tired and somber. "I'm afraid I am the bearer of bad news," he said as he surveyed the worried faces, "The only hope left for your loved one at this time is a brain transplant. It's an experimental procedure, risky, and you will have to pay for the brain yourselves."

The family members sat silent as they absorbed the news. After a few minutes, someone asked, "Well, how much does a brain cost?"

The doctor quickly responded, "$50,000 for a male brain, and $2,000 for a female brain." The moment turned awkward. The men in the room tried not to smile, avoiding eye contact with the women, but some actually smirked. One man, unable to control his curiosity, blurted out the question everyone wanted to ask, "Why is the male brain so much more than the female brain?"

The doctor smiled at the childish innocence and then replied to the entire group, "It's just standard pricing procedure. We have to mark down the price of the female brains, because they've been used."

And before you even think of it.

What did God say after he created Man..........

I can do Better Than that!!

OT RE: "Maybe they just hire the smartest people regardless of their sex."

Gordon,

There is absolutely no doubt Intel tries to hire the smartest people regardless of their sex.

Why would you even ponder this? Of course Intel tries to hire the best.

RE: "I know what you're thinking"

It doesn't seem so.
