		<description>I was just reading that in a bookstore! There wasn't anyone else around, especially not with a fishing rod. In fact, the place was practially deserted. But, man, did I look like a great skeptic, reading Sagan in a Scooby-Doo T-shirt! (Hey, Velma was the original SkepChick!)</description>

		<description>I know several smart women - the trouble for guys is that you need to be willing to accept that those women are smarter than you - not easy given the way we've been trained by society.

Single Moms are a good place to look (i.e. they were smart enough to leave the jerk). The other positive bias I've personally observed (no official survey!) is the number of teachers married to science types. I think they are attracted to our sense of wonder.</description>

		<description>Hey, I am a smart single woman!!  LOL

Sadly, finding smart single men in my age group is like looking for water in the desert.</description>

		<description>Haha, funny you should post a link to this comic, i've got the exact same on saved to the photos section of my MySpace page.  I've got that book (and audio cassettes) and dammit i'm just desperate enough to try it.

Actually though, i thought the book was sorta dull.  I didn't feel like i'd really learned anything from it like i did when i read Cosmos.</description>
