There must be something to this caveman theory especially regarding the comments that I have read about the trips to the mall and the tv remote. I don't even have to do an informal survey with my friends to know that these things are generally the way we act. What does that say about us? I know that there is not a conspiracy going on. That is I don't think we meet in secret and agree that the tv remote is something that men need to control or that women agree that long trips to the mall are a good thing. I'm going to grill my wife about that last one.
