    Did You Know That Men Lose Their Minds Over Pretty Women?

    Well Dah!! It must be Tinfoil Hat Time or is it just the full moon. Just before noon today I was in line at a Manhattan Bank when this guy came in with a twenty dollar bill in his hands. He ignored the line and stood ready to go to the first teller who was free.

    The man was told to go get in line. When I got to a teller it was the same one that told Mr. Big S$#T to get at the end of the line and I could not contain myself so I LOL!!

    I told the teller that he made my day making the guy get in line. When the guy got to a teller he wanted $20.00 in quarters which she would not give him because he did not have an account at that bank. That evoked more laughter!!

    The guy had brung a vehicle in Manhattan on a Saturday and he never thought to bring quarters for the parking meters.

    A little while ago I read a headline to an article that have me laughing real hard; because someone actually did research about men being ga-ga over pretty women!

    Of course we do. Or at least the demographic mentioned in the article do. No surprises found here. We've all heard the retort about the little head doing the thinking for the big head. A perfectly rational and level headed guy encounters a female of the species, conversation ensues, and within seconds the guy's system is awash in testosterone, adrenaline, and other hormones. All non-crucial functions are belayed and priority is given to those activities that will lead to pairing and copulation. It's physiology, and it will not be denied. Er, well... it doesn't want to be denied. This is one of those times when, like it or not, we are at the effect of our own wondrous anatomy. Of course, being evolved to a civilized state, we are able to restrain ourselves from clubbing the poor girl and dragging her off to our domicile. But we won't be solving any of the world's major problems until we've had a few minutes to recover from this charged encounter. Interestingly, fear and anger seem to be two emotions that will nullify the stupifying effect of such an encounter.

    But... I take solace in the fact that we men are not alone in our episodes of hormonally-induced zombification. Ever see the fair sex at a John Legend or a James Morrison concert? At least we men don't faint in the presence of our intended. (Hmm... Or is that simply 'feigned vulnerability' being used as a mechanism to circumvent our defenses?)

    geeeez..Manhatten, I have a friend that lives there, he used to buy junk cars, and never register them in his name, just park any where he wanted until the car got towed away, I guess the only place parking is worse than NY is San Franciso.

    I'd hardly call those findings actualities. Humans have known that for years. Of course we loose our mind, however, if you take a moment you will find you can cancel out the effect on purpose (just whack your self in the face and you'll understand).

    Packing problems, ...., I have a boy in my class who brought 2 cases for a 2 day trip (I had a small rucksack, it did the trick for me). He brought the most luggage of the whole school. He didn't manage to get the average to the male side though. I had too little luggage.
