Our brains view women as a bunch of body parts
You pass a woman on the street.
In glimpsing this stranger, did your brain see her as a whole person? Or a collection of body parts?
Be honest, boys and girls.
If you are, says a University of Nebraska-Lincoln researcher [Sarah Gervais], you'll probably acknowledge that you perceived body parts.
What's surprising is that it doesn't matter whether you're male or female. At first, you still see women as a bunch of pieces — differently than you see men.

Tampons, Diet Coke/splenda sweetened (because the other diet cokes taste like crap), a couple of T-bones from the meat market to throw on the grill tomorrow.
You asked.

Texas Outlaw Country
"Jerry Jeff showed up for a gig one night in a bathing suit, a vest, a cowboy hat, and maybe a bandanna. He’d been drinking Brandy Alexanders all day. We get him onstage, but he couldn’t remember any lyrics. After about three songs, some girl hollered, “Get off the stage, you drunk son of a bitch.” He responds, “F— you, f— you,” and then finally, “You ain’t got no beer. You ain’t got no cocaine. You ain’t got no pussy. You ain’t got anything I want.” Then he fell into the drum kit. The whole band walked out the front door, but he ended up playing by himself until one o’clock. That was the deal: he’d do the craziest things, but it’d always be funny when the story was told."

Swarm of bees descend on downtown Abbotsford | The Beer Barrel
Swarm of bees descend on downtown Abbotsford | The Beer Barrel
A swarm of honeybees that landed on a cement planter at the corner of Essendene and Gladys streets in downtown Abbotsford on Monday has found a sweet new home and beekeeper in Clayburn Village. The domestic bees were spotted in the late afternoon buzzing around the corner, with most of them settling on the planter. The Abbotsford Police contacted one of the apiarists they have on call to collect the wayward colony. Sheldon Reinheller arrived at about 8 p.m., zipped up his bee suit, and calmly scooped the thousands of bees into the small super or hive he pulled out of his truck. "It's the easiest swarm I've ever had," he said.

Island of the Dolls | The Beer Barrel
Not surprisingly, the island’s origins lie in tragedy. The story goes that the island’s only inhabitant, Don Julian Santana, found the body of a drowned child in the canal some 50 years ago. He was haunted by her death, so when he saw a doll floating by in the canal soon after, he hung it in a tree to please the girl. He hoped to both appease her tortured soul and protect the island from further evil.
