I knew it long long time ago but now, it is PROVEN!

It’s a thorny subject, so it is probably just as well it was a female scientist who confirmed that men are better at parking than women.

Men were typically five per cent more competent at parallel parking – where the car draws alongside anther vehicle before reversing into a bay – according to research.

They were also better at driving head-on into a space and then reversing into place.

During the tests, in which volunteers were asked to repeatedly park a saloon car, psychologists found women didn’t benefit from the extra 20 seconds they took to complete the manoeuvres on average.

In fact, they tended to end up much closer to the edge of the bays than the male drivers, despite showing far more caution.

The scientists from Ruhr University in Bochum, Germany, concluded men benefit from superior co-ordination and spatial awareness because their brains can process the changing position and speed of a car quicker than women’s.

I love this part:

‘You must remember that women also have bosoms which makes it very difficult to turn around.

This is scary.

A man who killed his wife by throwing a TV remote control at her during a petty argument was jailed for three years today.

Neither Paul Harvey nor his wife, Gloria Laguna, was aware that she had a congenital condition that meant her skull was eggshell-thin in certain places.

By pure chance the remote control struck Laguna at the back of her head, where she suffered the defect. The 48-year-old former US diplomat, who had moved to the UK when she met her husband, collapsed almost immediately.

She was taken to hospital with only a minor bruise to her neck but was pronounced dead the next morning.

Harvey, 46, an electrical engineer, was in tears today as he was sentenced at the Old Bailey after admitting his wife’s manslaughter during the row at their home in Euston, central London.

The court heard that the couple had been drinking and taking cocaine during an evening at their flat in March. As they watched television they began arguing about the maintenance Harvey paid to his step-daughter. Harvey lost his temper and hurled the remote control in the direction of his wife, not aiming for her head.

I don’t play game, so I know nut about it. Wonder how much time this Little Gray (小灰) has invested in the game.

A Taiwanese man has been named as the first player to ‘finish’ World of Warcraft.

‘Little Gray’, as his character’s known, is the first to successfully complete all of the MMO’s 986 achievements listed in the armory, reports MMO Champion.

To reach the milestone the Taiwanese power-player killed 390,895 creatures, accumulated 7,255,538,878 points of damage, completed 5,906 quests (that’s 14.62 quests per day, apparently), raided 405 dungeons and hugged 11 players.

The achievement hasn’t arrived without some controversy though; WoW-heads point out that technically he’s still missing one illusive, event-tied achievement (called “BB King”), but he’s managed to dodge it via a glitch awarding one extra, false achievement point.

We say he’s not a man until he tracks down and gets that last achievement legitimately.

I received a mail from one reader, Nicholas, on my post about the website “Help Christine”. Actually I received it quite long time ago, but I forgot about it until now.

I am not going to remove that post, or make any changes. However, if any of you has had Christine’s service before and would like to say something good for her, just send me a mail.

Thank you Nicholas, thank you very much.

If you are really good, people will see you, come to you, you don’t have to join those crappy talent hunt show fighting with bunch of idiots.

A producer from Uruguay who uploaded a short film to YouTube in November 2009 has been offered a $30m (£18.6m) contract to make a Hollywood film.

The movie will be sponsored by director Sam Raimi, whose credits include the Spiderman and Evil Dead films.

Fede Alvarez’s short film “Ataque de Panico!” (Panic Attack!) featured giant robots invading and destroying Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay.

It is 4 mins 48 seconds long and was made on a budget of $300 (£186).

This is something very very interesting, and I do agree to a certain extends.
How will psychologists describe the iPhone syndrome in the future?
