HERES THE REAL SCOOP ON WHY MOST MALES DO NOT GET LOST. REMEMBER I SAID MOST!!!! SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH INTO WHY SOME ANIMALS, PARTICULARLY BIRDS, CAN TRAVEL GREAT DISTANCES IS BECAUSE THEY HAVE IRON FERRITE IN THEIR BRAIN WHICH IS BASICALLY A COMPASS. NOW I AM NOT INSINUATING IN ANY WAY THAT MY GOOD FRIEND STEVE FELLEGY HAS A LOT OF IRON IN HIS BRAIN,LOL,LOL,BUT MANY PEOPLE HAVE AN UNCANNY SENSE OF DIRECTION AND TO WHERE THEY ARE ON THE PLANET THAN OTHERS. THIS IS THE REASON THAT WOMEN HAVE A TENDENCY TO BECOME LOST MORE EASY THAN MALES BECAUSE THE STUDY INDICATES MALES HAVE MORE IRON IN THEIR BRAIN THAN WOMEN. THIS STUDY CONFIRMS WHAT WOMEN HAVE KNOWN ABOUT US FOR YEARS. DICK KNUTSON GENETRON
Dick,
Please turn your CAPS off.
You posts would be much more interesting and readable if you did.
Take care

Dick,
Your not telling me anything my wife hasn't told me for the last 25 years. In fact she's taking it on step further claiming I have lead in my .................

The worst part is that the iron Dick refers to, assumingly a magnetic force, also must attract trouble with other forms or sexes, of humanity. The lead is a whole other subject. lol lol

Magnetic forces? That explains it. Now I know why you hit that BIG green can out on Erie when you weren't paying attention! Hah!

SHUSH! That was just accurate navigating in the fog. Heck, the can was at least 6 ft. in diameter, five miles from nowhere.....
And I own a bridge in 'Frisco I'll sell ya cheap too.

LEAVE THE CAPS ON. WE DO NOT WANT TO LOSE YOU.
REW (ALL CAPS) ARE YOU SHOUTING OUT YOUR NAME?
THIS HAS BEEN SAID BEFORE THAT DICK CANNOT SEE VERY WELL SO HENCE THE CAPITOL LETTERS.:)
Magnetic Forces? I thought he was talking about rust.
If you don't care where you are, you're not lost.

Rust? Probably more like 'corrosion'.
We'll see how the 'rust' works this year at the RCL's.
Hopefully...my white boat won't have any green or red scrape marks from those 'easily' found navigational cans that are in the middle of nowhere in the fog. Geezz...lol
The study of male/female "sense of direction" should show that the females have NO sense at all. That'd be the REAL reason the girls get lost....

IN RESPONSE TO DAVE. YOU LEFT THE FINAL WORD OUT WHEN YOUR WIFE DESCRIBED WHERE THE LEAD WAS LOCATED. IS IT THE REAR QUARTERS OR THE PENCIL? THERE HAS BEEN SCIENTIFIC STUDIES ON BOTH LOCATIONS!! DICK KNUTSON GENETRON

I've read women travel more by landmarks. They're better at visuals, details, while guys are more skilled spatially. We'll travel for a certain time one way till we feel it's time to change, while women will look for something familiar. I think this was in an old outdoor Life Of course, all generalizations...

Why men's and women's brains work differently
Chalk one up for the Y chromosome: According to a new study, guys who get lost can often find their way out of unfamiliar places better than gals.
The findings add a biological counterpart to prior research that indicated men and women tend to use different strategies to navigate. The new work suggests they use different parts of their brains, too.
Researchers scanned the brains of 12 men and 12 women as they tried to escape a three-dimensional virtual-reality maze. The volunteers pushed buttons to move their virtual selves left, right or ahead.
In the real world, which might be like trying to find a specific place in an unfamiliar city said neurologist Dr. Curly Stooge of the University of Whatsamatayou.
The men got out of the maze in an average of 23 hours and 22 seconds, vs. an average of three minutes and 16 seconds for the women. That fits with previous studies in animals and people that suggest males navigate better in an unfamiliar environment, but will not ask for directions.
The brain scans found that while both sexes used some of the same parts of the brain for the task, there were also some differences. Stooge and fellow colleagues Larry and Moe Stooge describe the results in the April issue of the journal Nature Neuroscience and Home Lobotomy Monthly.
One difference involved the hippocampus, a banana-shaped structure deep in the brain that is crucial for navigation and banana splits. Just last week, other scientists reported that male London taxi drivers show structural changes in the hippocampus, apparently slipping and falling after stepping on a hippocampus peal.
People have a hippocampus in each side of the brain. Stooge's study found that both sexes used the right hippocampus in negotiating the maze. But only men used the left hippocampus, once they finally found it, if they found it. Conversely, women used an outer part of the brain called the right prefrontal “whatever”, while men in the study didn't know where to look for it and were not about to ask either.
That might explain the differences in how men and women handle information about the space around them, Stooge and colleagues said.
Prior work suggests that women rely mostly on landmarks to navigate ("Turn right at the drugstore, then left at the Wall-Mart") while men lean toward using geometry, as one would figure from a map ("The bar should be over that way").
The women's activity in the “whatever” might reflect the effort of keeping shopping sales cues in mind, while the hippocampus activity in the men might be needed for the geometric bar & lounge approach, the Stooge’s said.
Stooge said his study could not explore whether the brain differences are learned or alcohol induced. But he said he suspects the latter, because they also appear in rats, dogs, monkeys, wilder beast, and car salesmen.
Dano Ship, a psychologist at Knuckknuck State University in San Bernatello and an expert on gender differences in thinking, noted that sex differences in brain activity have been observed for other tasks, such as reading, television viewing habits, or pre-set comfort settings in a motor vehicle they mutually share.
So it's not surprising to find another example, she said. Such differences probably result from both experience and relentless nagging, because the brain changes in response to experience, Ship said. In time a woman can train any man to do anything if properly motivated.
She also stressed that women generally outperform men in some tasks - such as creating of a list of words that begin with a given letter - so one can't say that men are generally smarter than women. Stooge responds, “So what”.
Stooge said his study couldn't explain the popular notion that men are more reluctant than women to ask for directions when lost, because he has never really been lost.

I hope you guys are happy! My name on this post.....geez lol All because I can fish without a GPS? OKAY! I'll use one!!!
My doors are locked and nailed shut. I have groups of women carrying pickets out in front of the house. Duct tape on my mouth. Life threatening e-mails from out east and...well....I hope you're happy.lololol

Nothing matter with using a GPS Steve. Good fishermen become great by keeping up with technology.

Ya know, Mr. Hall, I was hopin' this post would fade into the sunset. But now YOU. I would suggest you ask T-Mac to remind you of a certain situation I created on the water for you guys. lol T-Mac's shoes still aren't dry. If yours are...they won't be for long! youuuuuuuu.......
