Wow! I see someone cant handle a little teasing. Do you always react like this when someone ribs you a bit? Or did I touch a nerve?

Mel I doubt you could touch a nerve if you were given its precise coordinates and a precision microscope.
If that pettiness was your version of ribbing, I suggest you don't give up your day job  ;-)

Of course she didn't, my good man. Don't be silly. Get your bifocals out and read it again.

'......x-ray in man-love shocker!'

I can see the headlines :lol:

Actually, if women really are from Venus, how come I keep dating the ones from Uranus?

With respect to the subject title, let me tell you something about our celestial neighbours and see what you can infer.

Mars is smaller and farther from the sun than we are. Its geomagetic dynamo appears to have shut down which has allowed the solar wind to scour its atmosphere away over tens of millions of years. Coupled with the gradual shutdown of the geological activity that would replenish the atmosphere from planetary outgassing, the result is a cold, barren world.

However, the volcanos indicate that this was an active world, the magentisation of its rocks show that it did have a magnetosphere and evidence abounds that the planet had a substantially thicker, warmer and wetter atmosphere in the past. Its day is only slightly longer than ours and clearly it would have been the most Earth-like environment possibly even a place life may have took hold before premature old age robbed it of its vigour. It shows its aged surface for all to see, giving tantalising glimpses of a much friendlier past.

Venus, on the other hand, is considerably more massive than Mars, that extra mass allowing it to hold down a dense atmosphere. A dense, noxious atmosphere that at the mean surface level was more than enough to crush a submersible after an hour.

It's a crushing inferno of a planet, worse than Dante's furthest stretch of the imagination, with impenetrably dense clouds of vitriol shrouding it from closer examination. Its surface temperature is hot enough to melt lead as it lazily rotates (backwards!) in a day that's actually longer than its year.

Despite being closer to the sun than Earth, conditions at the surface are gloomy, so much of the light is absorbed or reflected long before it meets the hellish surface.

The surface itself is deceptively young looking. Every few hundred million years its speculated that it melts due to the lack of tectonic processes to liberate the interior heat, resurfacing vast swathes of the planet with boiling magma that tortures the already chthonic enviromnent even further. Venus really is as close to classical hell as any terrestrial planet can be.


So, men are from Mars and women from Venus. You've seen the environments of both. Make up your own minds ;-)

I think Karlos has the truth right there.

Car Accident

A woman and a man get into a car accident, and it's a bad one.

Both cars are totally demolished, but amazingly neither of them are hurt. After they crawl out of their cars, the woman says, "So you're a man. That's interesting. I'm a woman... Wow! Just look at our cars. There's nothing left, but fortunately we are unhurt. This must be a sign from God that we should meet and be friends and live together in peace the rest of our days."

The man replied," I agree with you completely; this must be a sign from God!"

The woman continued, "And look at this - here's another miracle. My car is completely demolished but this bottle of wine didn't break. Surely God wants us to drink this wine and celebrate our good fortune."

Then she hands the bottle to the man. The man shakes his head, opens it and says "You take the first drink", then hands it back to the woman. The woman takes the bottle, immediately chugs half of it, puts the cap back on, and hands it back to the man.

The woman asks, "Aren't you having a drink?"

The man replies, "No thanks, I will just wait for the police ..."
