this is the funniest cartoon I have seen on here, and there are some hilarious ones – thanks! It makes a great point – anyone forwarded it to Rowan Williams, he must need a laugh after the week of Synod.
Just to let you know I emailed Lambeth Palace and sent Dr. Williams the link for this cartoon. Probably hey need a laugh after a tough week! Let you know if I get a response!
Oh Jon, you completely forgot about Celebrity Gossip (which is totally different from Trivia, if you were a woman you would totally know that), I think at least half of the shopping space could go to that.
And men have quite a bit of their brain devoted to ignoring sounds they do not want to hear, like crying babies in the middle of the night.
women interested in trivia? I presume Jon defines trivia in this case as things like horses, curtains and cushions and things around the house that don’t involve audio or visual equipment. Generally I would define trivia as useless facts, like sports stats, car stats and QI-type stuff. Unfortunately the few women I know who enjoy random facts are taken or aren’t interested in me. I think my beer zone must be a technology zone. And I’d need a trivia zone too.

LOVE IT! The professor’s accent is adorable, too.

Ziz ees awesome.
(Only, in my case, switch “babies” for “good music” or something. 
)

Bravo and Amen!
It’s that simple.

Ah, dang! I love trivia! Well, my sister always told me we were raised in a more “androgynous” style, so…

I don’t want my pastor to be preoccupied with sex or shopping regardless of their gender.
Comment by becky — July 9, 2008 @ 7:05 am
Jon,
never has outrageous stereotyping been used to such liberating effect…
of course, grace being the crucial word…
so crucial, so difficult…
will you be gracious to me when I get it wrong?
If we have gyms to help us get our bodies in shape…
I wonder what the equivalent is for getting our grace in shape?
Maybe having to be friends (and support/encourage) with a few
fundies?
women vicars?
gays?
anglicans? (too much to ask?)
evangellybabies
people who actually like old fashioned church?
Caroline Too?
sigh, so much ‘grace’ exercise to do

by “babies” on the right hand side, are you referring to the kind of men that only think of sex, beer and sport???

thank you for my first-thing-in-the-morning smile…..
Comment by gilly — July 9, 2008 @ 8:01 am
Sorry what was that I was day dreaming about shopping!
Comment by Miriworm — July 9, 2008 @ 8:15 am
ah, shopping.

Hans Heinz is Dr Strangelove after a few years in the bunker, right?

I love a bit of sweeping generalisation to make us smile. it’s lets Grace and Humility do their thing.

Male and female brains? Have you seen these ones:

But this one really made me chuckle:

Sorry…very puerile of me.
Comment by Carole — July 9, 2008 @ 8:51 am
Jon, a great toon. Satirical, thought-provoking and not in the least bit childish…unlike me…ahem…
Comment by Carole — July 9, 2008 @ 8:52 am
Amen to that!
Comment by The Razzler — July 9, 2008 @ 9:49 am
Based on your chart, I’m neither male nor female.
Comment by zefi — July 9, 2008 @ 10:30 am
That’s what the church needs! Advice from scientists, not from the Bible!
Comment by Mark — July 9, 2008 @ 11:11 am
Hey, I really like the proffessors figure hugging all in one thingy outfit – it matches his hair as well.
Is the prof. available for speaking functions?
I think that the proportions given for beer and sport are far too large!
Comment by drewman — July 9, 2008 @ 12:46 pm
utopia = when male’s large portion fires off at the same time as the female’s “babies” portion several nights in a row…

brilliant thou I think the lines move with age
Comment by andy t — July 9, 2008 @ 1:39 pm
Jaybrams – A loud and hearty AMEN
andy t – now I’m worried – which way do they move……and when?
Comment by drewman — July 9, 2008 @ 1:48 pm
I’ll never look at my male pastor the same way again. Of course, I’m a female, and I hate shopping so maybe…uh…nah, I have brothers. You’re right.

Yay! Hi Kim
:D:D!!!
I like Prof Heinze hair – it is sehr cool! But whats with his expression? Maybe its the shock of discovering what goes on inside brains!
Comment by Anna — July 9, 2008 @ 3:26 pm
that would be great if Rowan got sent a copy!- I’m sure it would make him laugh.
So what makes up trivia Jon- would that be planning tea, organising childcare, planning work??!!!

Funny.
Comment by sarah — July 9, 2008 @ 8:04 pm
Okay, so when they get married and “the two become one” does that make it:
Beer Trivia
Baby Sports
Shopping Sex
?

In my case, the shopping is usually for books (and clothes).
Comment by Ros — July 9, 2008 @ 9:38 pm
Oh Jon, you completely forgot about Celebrity Gossip (which is totally different from Trivia, if you were a woman you would totally know that), I think at least half of the shopping space could go to that.
And men have quite a bit of their brain devoted to ignoring sounds they do not want to hear, like crying babies in the middle of the night.

nice one kim.
tyler… i’m just a bloke… what do i know of women?!
Comment by jonbirch — July 10, 2008 @ 12:10 am
But the 2 brains are the same size!
That can’t be right, surely?
Comment by Chris F — July 10, 2008 @ 2:38 pm
wow amazing, who’d a thought there was so much going on up there in our little brains – i guess this is what you call ‘doing theology’
