<< If you are 6'3" three deuces doesn't seem excessive for you. Why do men lose weight faster than women? I suspect its those damn hormones again. >> Hi Carol, Ha!

But here are some eye-opening statistics. 9 out of 10 on-the job fatalities are men 5 out of 7 victims of traffic accidents are men 4 out of 5 homicide victims are men at least 4 out of 5 suicides are men 9 out of 10 HIV-related deaths are men. HIV is the #1 cause of death amoung men ages 35-54 Now if you ladies want equality, shouldn't you be contributing more to bring these averages up to parity?
