One of those situations is more dangerous than the other, I would say.
This may come as a shock to you, but women are not cars.
I believe it was published in a section of the journal that does not require peer-review.
Similarly I think there's a tendency to paint extroverts as being lacking in 'book-smarts'. Of course, anyone who has ever read a Richard Feynman book can tell you that's not the case.

Noticed that when I use CRTL+click to open tabs from the list the tab counter still decrements even though the number of tabs in the list does not decrease. Now I'm looking at a list of tabs with -3 tabs at the top.
I was in an upscale department store in July and spotted a very nice Prada cap, with a fairly distinctive shape.
