I've been informed just now...

... that this is diagram represents how a woman's mind works, which would go a fair distance to explaining why men have trouble understanding them of course:



Now here's a problem with the story I'm trying to unfold - the picture is supposed to be an animated GIF, which means, if it was working properly, that all the little men and machines and things are all moving about processing and shifting the little blue balls through the maze of loops and traps and levers and bells and whistles. Everything is all moving at once in a blindingly complex fashion.

So you have to imagine that bit until I work out what's wrong. Or you can go HERE, then click on "Misc Files", and then "Woman's Brain".

Anyway, the assertion that accompanied the diagram is, quote, "Every one of those little blue balls is a thought about something that needs to be done, a decision or a problem that needs to be solved." The sender then went on to comment "Good thing a man's brain requires only two balls."

The problem is, if you could but see the machine in action, all the little blue balls appear to keep dropping out of the bottom of the picture after having been flung about chaotically with no apparent outcome for having been through the process.....

Which leads me to remark that its a good thing us guys have a simplified view of life that in fact produces a result with only two balls.......;oP
