Question about women
I work for a courier service and a lot of the clients have boxes to be delivered. The vast majority of the female callers can't give a weight estimate to save their lives. How hard is it to pick up a box and say "it weighs about 15 pounds"? Most of the women I've seen other places have a hard time estimating other measurements, too. Is it me or do women just have a hard time with this?

Family Guy.
Man In White: What are you, a size 8?
Meg: haha...no silly, I'm a 6. 
Man In White: Heh....Right..... 
In conclusion, women suck at calculating. Here's an example from a friend a few days ago.
CM: 87% of girls are dumb!
Kim: I belong to the other 23%!

LMAO 
I get tired of asking the sercetaries I talk to everyday how much something weighs or the length. Out of the 75 women I talk to everyday, only about 3-5 of them show any common sense. It's driving me insane.

After watching Seinfeld so many times in the past year, then hearing Peterman do the voice of the Man In White that episode, it really threw me out something bad - especially when I closed my eyes

Al: Wash my socks.
Beyond inconceivable agony,
Through the dark tunnel of pain
I hear your voice,
Flickering,
In to the silent drop of rain.
I hear your cry of despair,
The expectancy,
Of escape.
Please help me, help me, help me,
Get me out of here.

They are also terrible at judging distances.

Yeah I hate to admit it, but I can't judge distance at all. Not in feet, yards.. I'm good with miles though.
One thing a LOT of men have trouble with is estimating a woman's weight. I think it's due to T&A magazines listing impossible weights of the girls in the photos.

It's all about the lenght of the ring finger in relation to the middle finger. Men generally have a longer ring finger, which nearly matches up to the middle finger. Women's ring fingers are shorter. There's a direct correlation, even between different men. If one guy has a longer ring finger than another, he'll probably have better spatial abilities/awareness.
I saw it on TLC or somethin...

This thread reminds me of something that happened while I was in Germany.
My friend and I were on our way downtown (Karlsruhe), and on the way, we were talking about a study he read in his Air Safety class. The study was explaining differences(statistically) in the mistakes that male pilots made compared to mistakes that female pilots made.
Basically, women make physical mistakes of mishandling the aircraft... they just can't fly, can't control the aircraft. They stall, or put it into a spin, blah blah blah.
Men, on the other hand, very rarely mishandle the aircraft. Usually, their mistakes are not following procedure. Examples would be not lowering a landing gear, not using the flaps, forgetting to transfer fuel... stuff like that.
Just as Lars is parallel parking the car, we notice the car in front of us is parked horribly crooked, with one wheel on the curb! As we're walking away, we're laughing at it and saying "See, I bet you it's a woman! Who would park like that!?" Just as we're saying this and walking around the corner of a building, a woman who had just walked past us, and was stopping at THAT car, says something to us. We look, back, "huh?" I was expecting she was gonna bitch about our comment being sexist or some BS like that.
What did she say?
(in German)"Sir, your headlights are on."

I give the weight with a +- 2 lbs error
I give the height with a +-1 inch error
and the size of the bra with no error

AnabolicBMX, when you figure out women, perhaps you could then get started on the origins of the universe.
