Icon84 Science Quiets Myth of 'Chatterbox' Females

New research finding men and women speak roughly the same number of words each day is likely to get both sexes talking, experts say.

Researchers recorded the daily conversations of 400 university students in the United States and Mexico over a period of several days. They found that females spoke about 16,215 words each day, and males uttered an average of 15,669 words, which was considered a statistical dead heat.

Oh, good.

I wander when Dr. Brizendine's book is going to get recalled and she's going to issue an apology.

All I can say is that I started taking Brizendine for my insomnia, and it worked like a charm!

I can offer you a book that will make you nauseous and make you not have to worry about the nightmares. Does that help?
