the joy of PhDs
Tim, double first in Biology from Oxford, PhD in Marine Biology from Harvard, was helping me carry a (full) filing cabinet from place a to place b.

The sharp edges at the underside being a bit much, he put his end down for a moment, took a good look at his (now bleeding) hands, held them up and said to me "Jo, is this *my* blood"?

Then K, my marvellous, lunatic, manic depressive Ex, also of the Cambridge PhD persuasion, once spent an hour trying to convince me that an island in indonesisa was mostly populated with women, as the men had been wiped out in world war 2, and the balance was still skewed.

Then again, if we're talking *really* stupid, I was the one who said no when she tried to give me a 7 grand ring back...

or buying a 7k ring in the first place.

hey
nothing says 'I have absolutely no doubts about our relationship' like a massively over the top unaffordable expenditure

I once
went to Cambodia and they have a similar thing there. loads of small kids (Gary Glitter was supposed to be in that area at the same time....I kid you not), I know this because they beg off you big time ( don't blame em)and loads of women but hardly any men of a certain age....Obviously they were slaughtered by the Khmer Rouge in the 70's so it wouldn't surprise me if there were other places like this. WWII was a long time ago so it does sound a bit suspect but, hey ho...

Wrong post!
The KR wouldn't explain gender imbalances, btw.

well
it would, but only in the targeted population. The next generation would (should) be back to the statistical norm
