Not only that, but one researcher actually scanned the brains of over a million kids and found that by age four, the boys were already surpassing the girls in spatial ability by a ratio of 4:1. She also found that while girls did just fine at seeing two dimensions in the brain, boys had the ability to see a third dimension, allowing them to understand the concept of depth at an earlier age.
OMG that totally reminded me of an experement my 5th grade teach did regarding this. He devided up the class into boys/girls teams and each team had to bounce a ball into a trash can. The boys would win ever time, and it wasn't even close. The girls just could not figure out how to bounce that ball , while the boys quickly figured it out.

....and then there's the parking thing.
my ex bottomed out the car one time while parking (gas instead of brake)

Uhm... did no one notice...

1 researcher

scanning the brains of a million kids....

Not happening.

MRI scans usually take 5-10 minutes. Lets go mare minimum and say 5 minutes each - drive those kids like cattle. This means in an 8 hour day the researcher can scan 96 kids. If they work 8 hours a day, 365 days a year, it would take 28 and a half years to scan the brains of 1 million kids.

I call bull on this one.

Well, the source is "cracked" magazine, not exactly "science Today."
