Scientists decoding the human genome have discovered that just 78 genes separate men from women. Only 78?
So Europe is a country and they speak French there, says the bimbo. No wonder then that women can't read maps, or... can they? But, mind you, men can't do two things at the same time, can we?
If you want to read a light-hearted research into the genetic differences between women and men make sure you check out this page, which features some brilliant entries by readers. Then send in your comment either saying which remark was the funniest or feel free to contribute by giving some other differences that you think haven't been mentioned in the article.
For some fun, be sure to check out this video. It features some just slightly different habits when it comes to having a shower.
Are we really like that at all? Next time I have a shower I'll refrain myself from doing those things I usually indulge in...and you'd better, too.
Bye, lads and lasses.

(Avanzado 1) London Calling!
London Calling to the faraway towns...said The Clash. London is calling and we're just going on a trip. Collect the few quid you managed to save the last time, rehearse your cockney accent, as we're off.
The only thing we're going to do today is plan our trip. Some of you will look for accomodation- What do students prefer? A hostel? A low-budget hotel? Some Bread & Breakfast?
Some will watch out for bargains so we can fly cheaper- Easy Jet? Ryanair? British Airways? Where from? And how are we going from Luton/Stansted/Heathrow to central London?
Some others will schedule-are we going sightseeing? Just go and hit the bars? Zoos? Museums? A musical perhaps? A stroll in a park? Shopping in a market? Or rather Harrod's? Do you want to see David Beckham in wax at Madame Tussaud's? The London Eye?
To make things easier, visit London.
To put things in common, we're going to chat so you can make instant decisions. Don't think it over and make up your mind, as we're running out of time.
To finish today's activity, this is the homework:
You have to answer a few questions and facts about London. Go to this webquest and follow the instructions. Who will manage to find all the answers? Solutions next day in class.
See you!
