"And are able to use both sides of the brain at the same time while you BOYS can only use 1 side "

That's a common myth, but the fact is, nobody would be able to function without both halves working together all the time. There is some interesting research done on people who have had the main connective bunch of nerves surgically severed or never formed from birth. They can only see half their face, half the road. They only dress half their body, etc.

Women see more shades of red?

Yep. Rose, scarlet, fuschia, wine-red, etc. It's particularly helpful for decorating. :^)

Men are faster at some things..

And that's our fault?

I like to hit the Sweet Tomatoes salad buffet. Woman take ages to figure out what soup they are going to pick. I had words once with a some foreign woman who could care less about who was waiting behind her to get some soup. 

On a supermarket checkout line I have cash or credit card in hand and ready to wrap up the transaction. To get on with my life. Women usually draw out this payment into a drama. Fishing out the exact change for two minutes. Particularly worse when they whip out their checkbook AFTER the total is rung up. Stupid and inconsiderate

I'm with you on this one, but it could be that women just don't have as much experience at 'whipping it out' as men do. :o)

But honey ... of course I love you for your mind.

Now think about what's for dinner, while I go get a beer. ;)

Oh, we can SEE all those different shades of red - we just don't care, that's all.

Men (GENERALLY) tend to be linear thinkers, and task oriented and don't multi task well.

And that's why when women try to talk to men when they are watching TV or surfing the net, they get a "Did you say something, Honey?" fifteen minutes after they've asked the question.

LOL, I agree.....

And it's not what you're issued, it's what you do with it that counts. Training counts for a lot - will fine-tune the reactions to get the best speed out of what the brain can do.

For most normal brains these milliseconds aren't significant as we're not getting anywhere near 100% use out of our brains anyway.

My bride doesn't understand why I get annoyed when she tries to talk to me during a Nebraska football game.

She then got mad because I "wasn't paying attention to her". My reply wasn't very nice.
