oh oh I actually have a decent one that sorta fits the imponderable theme.

Why do women hate on each other so much?

I'm a poker fan and I watch the big televised events. This one lady does pretty well and gets on tv a lot. A bunch of people are ripping on her saying she plays poorly and acts like a jerk, but it seems women are going above and beyond against her. To me all of it is a double standard. Plenty of the guys in the tournament played as badly or worse. Plenty of the guys were bigger jerks than she was. You could almost justify some of the hatred saying that women wanted her to represent them better, but it's not just this. It's all over the place where women hate on other women who are in the spotlight. What's with that?

Competition for a mate naturally.

As seen in nature the male seems to have the bright colors or extra attachments (antlers and the like) to signify their status.

That and they fight, or dance. Wierd them mens.

Anyhoo I had it explained to me this way. I hope not too much offense is taken as I mean not to offend.

Women lie. Not all of them but some of them. They do this because they are less physically powerful than a man. A man can beat your skull his fist much easier than a woman. But a woman will rely on cunning quicker than a man. A woman may lie to keep food in her cache, to persuade a possible mate that she is a better mate than the one available, and to keep from being physically harmed. It was developed over time and has been modified according to the changing times. It is why the female of the species is much more attractive than the male. It is why the male looks at the revealing and painted type more often.

But there is the ruse. Again the female has used cunning to attain her goal.

SO that is it. A defense mechanism. I'm just sore that the male is no longer the pretty one, I am unable to bear children, and the female is still the smarter of the species.

Damn. Think I just lost Dude Points for that one.

Yep negative dude points. You really want the ability to bear children? It sounds awful to me. I'm glad we drew the long straw on that one personally.

So, deep down women hate other successful women because they're worried that she is more desirable? How come guys aren't the same? It seems like success is even more closely tied to what kind of mate a man can pull in than it is for women. I mean to some extent guys can be jealous and rip on other successful guys but for the most part it seems like we idolize them rather than try to tear them down. See: sports stars, successful business men, etc.

That's because we emulate what we would rather be. If we see a more successful male we might try using those observations to better ourselves.

Here's a ponder: should I take a really interesting-sounding class that *just* became open to sophomores (which i was hoping would happen) when it's held from 6 to 9 at night? I appreciate feedback on this one, cuz i'm torn ><

Once again not Friday. What a cruel calendar.

Don't know about the 6-9PM class. I had a class that went past 6PM and it was sorta annoying. I lived off campus at the time and the bus stopped running at 5:30. I didn't have a parking permit to park on campus so I just had to park illegally those nights. It really depends on how much you want to take the class I guess.

It's almost here Zeek.

Unfortunately most of y'all won't have a holiday tomorrow. We are lucky enough to have Friday off for Nevada Day and Halloween which is the coolest thing ever, Saturday is the celebratory parade, Sunday is up in the air (kinda), and we're thinking of taking Monday off.

...almost here.

ok mini-quick ponder-poll I'm curious as to which states have a censored title to the Zack and Miri make a porno movie. In TX the title is just Zack and Miri and I was making fun of how dumb it was that they truncated the title while I was up in IN last weekend. However, there the commercials still call the movie Zack and Miri make a porno. So, apparently the title is only shortened in certain markets. So, if you've seen the commercials and paid attention to what they're calling the movie I say post your state and whether or not it's got the short title.

So far I know:
TX - short title
IN - full title
