Interesting. I always thought the Once-ler was a man because the guy who invented the Thneed (and his entire family) is human; I guess I made the assumption that he was the same guy, only hermitized, and that it was something everyone knew.
No one here has funny female friends? I think men excel in stand-up because they're better at the aggressive sort of humor that works there, but I know plenty of women I would call funny. As for which gender is funniest, I don't know that it can necessarily be determined. Personality has much to do with it, as does perception of humor. But I don't think it's at all fair to say that women as a whole are simply unfunny.
The only thing these pictures tell me is that whoever does her eyebrows is fully competent. (If it's her, then I guess the study is correct? This seems like a ridiculous waste of science funding.)
