Well, you make a good point there, Monique. ;-) I have always thought that women were basically more practical, on average, than men are. They keep their minds on the essential matters.

Men, on the other hand, are happy as can be to spend inordinate amounts of time on hobbies that aren't the least bit practical. Why? Well, it's fun!

(Let Chongo loose in a gun shop, for instance, and he'll be there for hours.)
