:stupid: Yeah... what she said.

[hapoo]

on a serious note:
One of the reasons i read about is that historically, women as grandparents have always helped in the nursing of children, and therefore were still an asset into old age whereas men didnt serve such a function.
Thus the child has a better chance of growing up to reproduce.

Not to mention the extra redundency in the X chromisome

Shark Fisherman Reels in Record Tuna

By The Associated Press 1 hour, 27 minutes ago

DEWEY BEACH, Del. - Fisherman Dan Dillon went out to sea in search of shark. He returned empty handed — at least as far as sharks are concerned.

Dillon, however, did reel in an 873-pound bluefin on Saturday, the biggest tuna on record in Delaware.

"I'll have fish stories forever now," said Dillon, 39, a commercial real estate executive from Herndon, Va. The monster fish was caught 40 miles off the southern Delaware coast.

Dillon used an 80-pound test monofilament line on an 80-pound class reel, using a bluefish fillet as bait.

Measuring 9 feet, 7 inches in length, 80 inches in girth, the fish outweighed the state's previous record catch by more than 500 pounds.

"I'm a big person and it makes me look small," said Dillon, who is 6-foot-2 and 170 pounds.

I saw this on the news last night and he was offered to enter a contest for 10 bucks but declined. If he had entered the contest that day, his catch would of made him the easy winner of the contest plus he would be $325,000 richer.

What does this story have to do with this thread? :confused:

[riskykougra]

Men die younger so women can atleast enjoy their later years in life without having to deal with a man asking them where he left his teeth and not being able to hear the answer the women give because they have also misplaced their hearing aids. :heh:

I thought it was because (among other reasons) estrogen helps protect women from heart disease so by the time they get to menopause they've several years ahead of us in the heart disease game.
